Welcome to Nevada State University’s Fourth Annual Convocation
Join us for a momentous occasion as we celebrate the beginning of a new academic year at Nevada State University. Our fourth annual Convocation on Thursday, August 20, 2026, marks a significant milestone in our journey as the state’s only teaching university.
Embracing Our New University Identity
At Nevada State University, we are proud to redefine our academic presence and engage all students and employees in our shared mission. Convocation serves as a pivotal moment to unite our community and set the course for the year ahead.
Convocation vs. Commencement
Convocation, unlike commencement, marks a beginning rather than an end. It welcomes our students into the academic discourse community and sets the tone for our faculty and staff, inspiring our collective work throughout the year.
