Summerville Campus
Such a special event, as it marks the beginning of a student’s journey with Augusta University!
Always held the day before classes begin, Freshman Convocation is a campus wide tradition that officially welcomes first-year students to the AU family. That morning, students receive their official class pin, class T-shirt, and take their class photo in the JSAC Field (Summerville Campus).
After the ceremony, they walk to the Grove for the college brunch, meeting with professors and campus professionals while exploring academic and social opportunities at AU. Don’t you want to be a part of it? Come participate by helping with pre-convocation activities. We appreciate your time and your support of our first-year students - The Class of 2027!
NOTE: When signing up—please focus on pre-convocation opportunities (chair set-up, JSAC tabling, etc.)
The other part of the sign-up is post- convocation opportunities (Brunch in the Grove), and these are pre-assigned to various departments/colleges. Where will students seeing you volunteering?
