Join the Opening Convocation Celebration – Welcome our Newest Bishops Aug. 15

Opening Convocation is almost here! All staff and faculty are invited to participate: walk in the processional, sit together in the front seating section during the ceremony, and form the First Lap tunnel. Wear your regalia or OWU gear. Registering ahead to participate in the ceremony (on this form) helps us be prepared, though last-minute add-ons are certainly welcome! No need to register if you are only able to participate in the First lap tunnel on the Slocum walk and JAYwalk.

Please see event details here.

Volunteers are needed. Please sign up on this Google Sheet if you wish to assist with any of the following. A follow-up email with details will be sent to those who sign up.

  • Set-up (no lifting involved) 2-3:30, 4 people.

  • Ushering 3:30-5, 6 people.

  • Clean-up (no lifting involved) 5-5:30, 4 people.

We are looking forward to welcoming our first-year students with you!
