Academic Convocation
The academic convocation featured as principal speaker His Excellency Sivert A. Nielsen, Norwegian Ambassador to the United Nations, as well as the Governor of Pennsylvania, William W. Scranton. The program commemorated the 125th anniversary of Bloomsburg State College and honored Dr. Andruss on his 25th anniversary as President. It was held in Centennial Gym because it had the largest seating capacity of any facility on campus at that time.
