Nearly 4,000 students, faculty and staff gathered in Biola's Chase Gymnasium on Wednesday, August 27 to kick off the first day of classes at the Convocation Ceremony.

President Corey charged and commissioned new students and faculty to academic excellence and to uphold Biola's mission and vision. Returning faculty lined the first row of bleachers, lending their support.

Complete with a dramatic stage, including seven banners each representing Biola's seven schools, and a processional by the faculty, this Convocation was memorable for all students.
