NSO 2007 > Life at Penn > Convocation

Freshmen are formally welcomed to Penn during the Convocation ceremony. The entire freshman class marches together, just as it does during Commencement. Speakers include the President, Provost, Penn Alumni President, Dean of Admissions, and Chaplain, and several student groups perform musical selections. Many freshmen remember Convocation fondly as a tradition shared with their class, a "bookend" for their Penn experience that mirrors Commencement, and the first of many events with free food.
