The University traditionally begins the academic year with a gathering called Convocation. This official welcome event for first-year students celebrates their arrival at UConn and is the only time prior to Commencement that the entire entering class gathers as one. The 2015 Student Convocation program will take place on Friday, August 28, 2015 at 7:45 p.m. on the Student Union Mall (rain location is Gampel Pavilion).
Although there no longer is a processional of Faculty and Staff, we encourage you to attend this event to welcome and support the incoming class.
**Correction - Hillside Road will not be closed during Convocation.
