New Student Convocation is how Columbia welcomes students to its unique creative community. The annual event takes place just before fall classes begin and features a ceremonial assembly with Columbia’s president, a student services exposition, and a catered party with live bands, performance art, spectacle, and more. Convocation showcases the talents of our current students and alumni and is a required event for all new freshmen and faculty and staff.

Not bad, but the heat wasn't a positive factor. Thought it was smart to have everything close together, forcing all the newbies to mingle together. Music could've been better, and I also thought this was an evening event until like the day of.
