Convocation 2008: Your Official Welcome
Monday, September 22, 2008

Convocation 2008 is the official welcome event at Ohio State. You'll hear from President Gee, Provost Alutto, and special guests. You'll be introduced to some of the history and traditions of Ohio State. 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 will 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. Please check back in September for a listing of times and locations for your pre-convocation survey class.


Volunteer for Convocation 2008: Interested faculty, staff, and returning students should e-mail Julie Schultz at convocation@osu.edu.
