Convocation is Ohio State’s official welcome ceremony for all new students – undergraduate, graduate and professional! This high-energy event is distinctive as the only time prior to graduation that the entire class is gathered. Students will be treated to exclusive giveaways, learn about Ohio State traditions and share some exciting and memorable moments to start their Ohio State careers. Following the ceremony, students will join in a traditional walk through Ohio Stadium on the way to Buck-i-Frenzy!
