About this event

This event is for incoming freshman students.

Hear from university leaders, faculty, administrators and special guests, and take part in 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.

Following Convocation, we’ll take a class picture, participate in the bridge walk, and enjoy food trucks and games on the quad from 11 a.m.–2 p.m. You’ll receive your Buckeye shirt that you ordered at orientation for the class photo.

Questions? Please contact John Davenport.
