New-student convocation was held Sunday, Aug. 30, in the Hamer Hall gymnasium. This year, as part of the Cal U for Life Student Philanthropy Initiative, each student was encouraged to bring $1 to donate to the Cal U for Life Scholarship Fund. The Foundation for California University of Pennsylvania also contributed.
During the ceremony President Angelo Armenti, Jr. awarded $500 scholarships from the fund to six randomly selected students.
This philanthropy initiative was a compelling example for new students, proving that small donations can be combined to established scholarships at Cal U.
