Please join President Gregory Washington and University Life at New Student Convocation from 10:00 – 11:15 a.m. on Friday, August 19, 2022, in Eagle Bank Arena. Kick off the academic year by welcoming our new students to the Mason Nation, and see Mason’s talent on display with student performances and our very own Green Machine with Doc Nix!

The first 300 faculty and staff that RSVP for New Student Convocation will receive a commemorative 50th anniversary Mason mascot t-shirt.

All are invited to enjoy the annual free lunch for students, faculty, and staff immediately following convocation on Wilkins and East Plaza. Please make sure to RSVP by Friday, August 12 to ensure accurate counts for the caterers.

Faculty and Staff check in will be located at the South Entrance of Eagle Bank Arena.
