That legacy took center stage Aug. 7 at the Department’s annual Convocation as nearly 1,000 employees kicked off the 2026-2027 academic year with an NFL-inspired charge: UNRIVALED. Division leaders participated in a mock Draft Day back in May, where they “picked” the teams their divisions would represent at the all-staff meeting. Employees were decked out in their team gear and full of spirit as they entered the Kingdom Builders’ Center, took photos at the trading card stations, played a football toss game and reconnected with colleagues.
