New Student Convocation 2021

Welcome to the Lynx Family!

As our newest CU Denver Lynx, you are about to embark on an exciting journey. Following a year of great disruption, I’m so pleased that this fall you will have the opportunity to choose from virtual and on-campus experiences.

To start the semester, I encourage you to attend our New Student Convocation. The brief ceremony is your official welcome to our University, and you may attend it in person or virtually. The convocation will be followed by opportunities to connect with your fellow students and meet faculty and staff at Playfair and the Welcome Lunch.

I’m excited for your CU Denver journey to begin. Over the next few years, we will learn together and grow together as a community, and then we will reconvene at graduation when I have the honor of handing you your diploma.

Sincerely,

Chancellor Marks signature

What is New Student Convocation?

New Student Convocation is the official welcome for all new students to the University of Colorado Denver. Just as graduation commemorates the end of a student’s university experience, this event marks the beginning of a student’s time at CU Denver. Each pre-registered student receives a ticket for lunch and a CU Denver spirit shirt at check-in.

Schedule of Events:

Check-In - 9 a.m.

Ceremony - 9:30 a.m.

Playfair Icebreaker Activities - 10:15 - 11:45 a.m.

Lunch & Resource Fair on Tivoli Quad - 12 - 1:30 p.m.

Prep Week
Convocation is part of CU Denver's slate of Prep Week events that are designed to support you during your transition to CU Denver, whether you're a recent high school graduate or a transfer student from another institution.

At the bottom of this page you'll find information about Rise Up: First Generation Lynx, a virtual event for those students with neither parent holding a four-year degree from a U.S. institution, and Connect2Campus, a virtual conference-style series of workshops where you'll learn about starting at CU Denver, meet peers, and win prizes! Registration for those events takes place through New Student Orientation.

We couldn't be happier that you have chosen to be a CU Denver Lynx. If you have questions about New Student Convocation or require assistance to participate, please contact events@ucdenver.edu.
