Freshman Convocation
Just as Commencement is a ceremony that marks the completion of study, Freshman Convocation celebrates a student's entry into higher education. Convocation welcomes each year's freshman class to Georgia Tech's community of learners, celebrating enthusiasm for learning and discovery in achieving the university's mission of teaching, research, and service. It is also the first formal event where Tech's president addresses new students and their families and welcomes them to Tech's academic community.
