Provost Bracey recently reached out to GW faculty to invite you to join Convocation and Welcome Day of Service. We do hope you'll consider joining us! Due to renovations in the Smith Center, Convocation is being held later than usual this year, so please encourage any first-year students you work with to attend.

To attend Convocation, please register by Friday, September 15.
You can express interest in joining Welcome Day of Service when you register.
