On Sunday, September 27, 2009, at 10:30 a.m., the University of Washington will welcome over 5,000 entering students, family members and guests at the 26th Annual Freshman Convocation in the Bank of America Arena at Hec Edmundson Pavilion.
Faculty members will greet the incoming students as they enter the Pavilion and University Provost Phyllis Wise will tell them about many of the exciting educational opportunities that await them - even as freshmen and sophomores. UW President Mark A. Emmert will preside over the ceremony, which will feature an address by two-time Pulitzer Prize winning editorial cartoonist David Horsey.
