Join us for one of the most exciting events during Opening Week at 11 a.m. (doors open at 10 a.m.) Convocation is an annual gathering of the Academic and University Community to celebrate UMass Lowell’s incoming class! The college deans, upper administration, and your faculty will all be processing to welcome you in the same formal manner we celebrate our graduates at Commencement. Come listen to double River Hawk Evana Gizzi and your fellow student leaders talk about their UMass Lowell experience and how important unity and community building has been to their journey. Welcome to UMass Lowell!
