All incoming students are invited to attend New Student Convocation on Sunday, August 19, from 5-6 p.m. at the McCamish Pavilion. This event serves as the Institute's official welcome to the campus community. In addition, the event will inspire our students to work to reach their highest potential while at Tech, acquaint new students with Georgia Tech's mission and traditions, and build camaraderie amongst the newest class of students.

Parents and guests may attend to celebrate their student's entry into Georgia Tech. Tickets are not required.

Immediately Following Convocation

Students will attend a special welcome party sponsored by Auxiliary Services - Rock, Ramble, and Roll - which celebrates their first night as a Georgia Tech college student. Held in the Student Center, students may take a shuttle or walk over after the Convocation ceremony. This is a free event for new students.
