Fall Convocation

The University traditionally begins the academic year with a gathering at Harry A. Gampel Pavilion called Convocation. This official welcome event at UConn for first-year students, their parents and family marks the only time prior to graduation that the entire Class of 2013 gathers as one.

This is a time for everyone - students, parents, faculty, and staff - to meet one another, talk about the University, and articulate some of the ideals that define us as a place of learning and growth.

The Class of 2013 Fall Convocation will be held on Friday, August 28, 2009 at 5:00pm in Gampel Pavilion. Immediately following the ceremony, students and their parents, faculty and staff are invited to an outdoor all-University picnic hosted by President Hogan on the Mall next to the Student Union.
