About Convocation
The start of a new academic year calls for a celebration!
At Student Convocation, we welcome our entire student body to celebrate with faculty and staff at UNO's own Tal Anderson Field, located west of Baxter Arena on UNO's Scott Campus.
Attendees will receive a free, limited-edition UNO baseball cap, have the chance to meet fellow students, hear more about what UNO has planned for the fall, and experience a one-of-a-kind fireworks show.
Prior to Convocation make sure to stop by Baxter Arena at Parking Lot 26 for MavFEST, a part of Durango Days. At MavFEST you will be able to learn about student involvement opportunities in the new year; information about student organizations, colleges, and departments; and get giveaways from local vendors. But that's not all - be sure to stop by for awesome music, snacks, and fun activities.
Both events are part of Durango Days.
