Dear Faculty and Staff,
As we prepare to welcome students to campus for the fall semester, we invite you to participate in New Student Convocation. This special event is designed to officially welcome the Class of 2030 to campus. As a Convocation volunteer, you can help greet students as they arrive to campus, join in the ceremony celebration as a participant, or help students find their college and classes as they self-navigate around campus.
Our faculty and staff are the heart and soul of UHD, and we invite you to be a part of Convocation and the many Welcome Week activities during the first weeks of classes. Together, we will mark the beginning of their UHD life with ceremony, enthusiasm, and Gator pride!
