2008 Convocation
Convocation is a ceremony intended to officially welcome incoming freshman and
transfer students to Indiana State University. It marks the beginning of each student's collegiate
journey and ushers them into our community of scholars. This event underscores the significance of
this transitional moment in the lives of incoming students and families. It also magnifies and signals
the seriousness with which faculty, administration, and the ISU community regard entry into this collegiate experience.
Indiana State University's 2008 Convocation was held on August 17 in the Hulman Center.
Our guest speaker was Jim Lewis, ISU alumni and President of Disney Vacation Club.
Disney Vacation Club is an innovative vacation-ownership program that revolutionized the timeshare industry in 1991 with an unprecedented level of service and flexibility. This growing division of The Walt Disney Company has expanded to include eight themed Disney Vacation Club Resorts, more than 350,000 individual members from more than 100 countries and every U.S. state, and more than 2,000 employees (known as cast members). Jim has led Disney Vacation Club to more than double its business since 2003, while attaining the industry's number one position in member satisfaction.
