Nicole Lynn Lewis is the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Generation Hope, a nonprofit organization that engages education and policy partners to drive systemic change and provides direct support to teen parents in college as well as their children through holistic, two-generation programming to ensure all student parents have the opportunities to succeed and experience economic mobility. A former teen mother who put herself through the College of William & Mary with her three-month-old daughter in tow, Nicole now works every day to change the statistic that less than 2 percent of teen mothers will earn their degrees before age 30. She has been featured on major news outlets including “Good Morning America,” CNN, “NBC Nightly News,” and The Washington Post. Nicole also serves as an Ascend National Advisor with the Aspen Institute, is a nationally known speaker and critically acclaimed author of Pregnant Girl.

Dr. DeRionne Pollard invites you to attend Nevada State University’s inaugural Convocation to celebrate the new academic year on Wednesday, September 13, 2023. This new event perfectly aligns with our “new university” owning our academic presence as the state’s only teaching university, so we seek to engage all students and employees to the extent possible.


Convocation and commencement serve as two bookends to a powerful narrative and journey in which our students engage and our employees manifest. Summative in nature, commencement recognizes the academic accomplishments and achievements of students completing their degree through their hard work and the "value-add" of the university's faculty and staff, while convocation is formative in nature, welcoming students into the discourse community of which they are now apart and moving through. I believe that convocation also sets the tone for faculty and staff by amplifying the mission, setting direction, and inspiring the work we will be engaged in over the next year.


Please join us at 9:30 a.m. in the Rogers Student Center Ballroom. The event will be live streamed as well so you may consider hosting your own viewing party. Whether in person or online, please be sure to wear black and gold. RSVP at nsc.edu/convocation by noon September 12, 2023.
