What is Convocation?

Convocation is the official welcome event at Ohio State for first-year students. You will hear from faculty, staff and student leaders while being 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.
