Convocation 2017

Caltech's annual convocation ceremony offers a warm welcome and introduction to the Institute for new undergraduate students, their family and friends, new graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. The program includes greetings from President Thomas F. Rosenbaum, and a brief introduction to student life at Caltech inside and outside of the classroom by Joseph E. Shepherd, Vice President for Student Affairs.

A special feature this year will be a presentation on Caltech student outreach by graduate students Manuel Razo Mejia and Celeste Labedz, undergraduate student Rachael Morton, and Evan N. Kirby, Assistant Professor of Astronomy. They each will share their experiences on being active in Caltech outreach initiatives and the impact this experience has had on their time at Caltech.

Please join us on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at 4:30pm to welcome new members to our Caltech community and embrace Caltech's intellectually and culturally rich community through the diverse opportunities for outreach that the Institute provides.
