The cousin is coming

Just got an invitation to Southern University-Shreveport's fall convocation.

This year's speaker is Jeff Johnson, aka Cousin Jeff. He's the host of BET's "The Truth with Jeff Johnson."

Fall convocation is a ceremonial pep talk really. Depending on the college or university, students and faculty come together to get inspired for the upcoming year. The tradition around the event is different for every college. At Centenary, the freshmen are applauded as they enter the chapel.

I'm not sure if SUSLA has any traditions around their convocation; I didn't cover last year because of another story. But I'm looking forward to see SUSLA's traditions in action.

And of course to hear what Cousin Jeff has to say.

What: SUSLA Convocation with Jeff Johnson
When: 10 a.m.Wed. Sept 23
Where: SUSLA Gym (MLK Campus)
