convocation

The group has already taken part of several protests, including one where keffiyeh-clad students walked out of back-to-campus dinners at the dean of students’ home and a “rally against repression” outside the convocation ceremony Tuesday.

Protests unfolded at USC Thursday when students rallied outside of the Coliseum during convocation.

Lyons also won fans at the welcome convocation for new students.

Previously candidates were required to be nominated by 50 members of the University’s Convocation.

At a Tuesday speaking event in Atlanta at the Georgia State Convocation Center, the vice president said she would bring her experience as a prosecutor, district attorney and attorney general of California to bear in the race.
