New students, as well as faculty and staff, are invited to attend the Annual New Student Convocation on Wednesday, Aug. 31 at 11 a.m. at the Tsongas Center. This official welcome to campus allows students to hear from our new Chancellor and SGA President. Double River Hawk Evana Gizzi will give the keynote address.

Shortly after graduating with a master's degree in applied and computational mathematics, Gizzi worked as a software engineer at MITRE, and then went on to complete her Ph.D. at Tufts University in artificial intelligence. Her Ph.D. research focused on creative problem-solving in robots. Gizzi is currently a civil servant at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. 

Following the hour-long event, lunch will be served outside of the Tsongas Center and then everyone is invited to the Campus Recreation Complex, located just a block away, for the annual Engagement Fair.
