Celebrations of the new academic year continue this week with ASU Convocation, including an address by Ishmael Beah, author of A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier.  Saturday brings opening day of the football season and the debut of the 2015 Marching Mountaineers on Faculty-Staff Appreciation Day at the stadium.  Then we'll relax a bit with a holiday on Monday to celebrate Labor Day.

The 2015-16 academic year has begun at ASU.  Auditions for the Hayes School of Music's ensembles conclude today (mostly), and classes are up and running. We have three full weeks this year before Labor Day, so we'll build up significant momentum before that holiday.
