To welcome our new students and promote their success during their first year, we are hosting the 17th annual UIC New Student Convocation to kick off the 2023-2024 academic year. Convocation will mark the official beginning of our new students’ entry into the UIC academic community.

Please join us on:

Sunday, Aug. 20

The ceremony will take place in the Credit Union 1 Arena, and the picnic will return to the University Hall lawn (weather permitting).

All new students and their families, as well as university faculty and staff, are invited to attend this special event. It is a great opportunity for students to start meeting faculty and academic college staff.
