Faculty, staff and students invited to 2019 convocation

The University of Oregon’s convocation ceremony, which kicks off the academic year, is scheduled to begin at 11 a.m. Saturday, Sept. 28, at Matthew Knight Arena.

The annual tradition sets the tone for the year and celebrates the beginning of the academic careers of those attending UO for the first time. Students and their families, faculty members and staff are invited to participate.

Any member of the UO community who has a bachelor’s degree or higher is invited to wear academic regalia. Faculty members can place their regalia order directly with the Duck Store.

The ceremony program and speakers will be announced later this summer. For more information and ceremony updates, visit convocation.uoregon.edu.
