COE Fall Convocation, Dec. 13, 2012
 

Graduation photo 1 The College of Education will hold its Fall Convocation for graduating students on Thursday, Dec. 13, 2012 at 3 p.m. in The Rialto Center for the Arts (80 Forsyth St. N.W., Atlanta).

  

While the University Commencements signify the official conferral of degrees, the College of Education Convocation, a pre-commencement ceremony, is an opportunity for the college to recognize its graduates and celebrate its students' achievements. We encourage our graduates to participate in both events.

  

Tickets for graduates' family and friends are required for admission to the Convocation Ceremony. Students will be allotted two (2) tickets each to be distributed to their guests. Any remaining tickets will be issued closer to the date on a first come, first served basis. You will be asked to confirm ticket pickup preference (in advance or at Will Call) when you register. Please note that seating location for family and friends at the Rialto is first come, first served.  

 

Convocation will have College of Education alumnus Karin Korb (M.S. '03) as its featured speaker. She is an accomplished, multi-sport Paralympian whose résumé includes positions as a certified fitness trainer, vice chair of the United States Tennis Association's National Committee, motivational speaker, dancer, model and sports instructor for junior wheelchair sports and injured members of the military.

  

Registration for this event is required and graduates wishing to participate should confirm their attendance by Dec. 7, 2012, at coeconvocation@gsu.edu or 404-413-8131.
