Immediately following Convocation, the celebration continues with Tiger Roar—a spirited campus tradition that marks the official start of the academic year. Students, faculty, and staff pour out of the Alex G. Spanos Center in a vibrant parade of Pacific pride. The procession winds its way to Knoles Lawn, where the entire campus community is welcomed with an all-campus lunch, lawn games, and a festive atmosphere. It’s a bold, joyful roar into the new year—don’t miss it!
