ConvocationYour formal Orientation will finish with Convocation, a traditional ceremony marking the start of the

they will commit to you. In addition to meeting with you
individually and in group sessions throughout the Orientation,
your First year Advisor will be available to you all summer prior
to your arrival in August. you’ll meet with your Advisor in mid-
