New Student Convocation Volunteers
Introduction
New student convocation will take place the first week of school on Wednesday August 27 from 4pm-7pm. Our college is hosting a table during the Academic College Engagement fair. This is one of the opportunities our college staff, faculty, and leadership can engage with new students and invite them to interact with our college.
Volunteer at our designated table where you will greet students and get to know them, pass out flyers for our AHS undergraduate student welcome, and help us manage our popular brain game teasers as they embark their academic journey at UIC.
The full schedule for Convocation is as follows:
4:00pm - 5:00pm - Academic College Engagement Fair*
4:45pm - Students and Families transition to Harrison Field
5:00pm - UIC Class of 2028 Photo
5:30/5:45pm - Convocation Remarks (Chancellor, Provost, SA Leadership, Fight Song, Lighting of the Torch)
6:00/6:15pm - Food available for all attendees
Note: you are invited to attend the full program but colleges are primarily asked to participate for the first hour.
Email Viviana Kabbabe-Thompson at vkt@uic.edu to volunteer at the table from 4pm - 5pm. Your involvement and support are crucial in fostering a welcoming and supportive environment for our students.
