Reflection:

The freshman convocation is an annual event that serves as an opportunity for CSUDH freshman class students to attend a graduation designed event. Through this event, students are able to see themselves in the exact location they will graduating in a few years. Attending the freshman convocation gives students an opportunity to learn more about how CSUDH can help them graduate and transform their life. Essentially, the event stressed the importance of seeking guidance in college, and finding ways to immerse themselves in the campus community and culture. This was such an amazing event, because it really showcased the visual of the journey each student was embarking on in terms of their personal, professional, and academic growth. For me personally, I wish this event was offered when I was in undergrad. I know for me personally, it would have been exciting to see where I would graduate in just a few years. It would have served a marker for me. I think for a lot of my peers that didn’t make it through college could have taken advantage of an experience like that. Also having the opportunity to just connect with campus resources and student services that could better uplift their experience in the college environment.
