The New Student Convocation officially welcomes all new students into the community of learners at Palm Beach State College. This event brings together the incoming class, family members, faculty, the President, the Provosts, Vice Presidents, members of the administration and Board of Trustees to recognize the beginning of the new academic year. Convocation is celebrated at most colleges and universities as a means of both welcoming new students to the College and to higher education. All new students and their families are invited to attend.
