President's Convocation: Your Official Welcome
Monday, September 21, 2009

Convocation is the official welcome event at Ohio State for first-year students. Students hear from President Gee, faculty, administrators, and special guests, and are introduced to some time-honored university traditions. Convocation is the first of many memorable moments for you at Ohio State and the only time prior to graduation that the entire class is gathered.

All entering freshmen attend a special meeting of their autumn quarter survey class prior to convocation. This class is an opportunity for academic advisors to share important information with you and to answer any questions about your first week at Ohio State. Locations for 2009 survey classes are available here

Volunteer for Convocation 2009: Interested faculty, staff, and returning students should e-mail Julie Schultz at convocation@osu.edu.
