The University of Wisconsin Oshkosh will kick off the start of the new academic year with two special assemblies and celebrations.

An convocation will be held at 3 p.m. Sept. 1 in Ballroom 227 of Reeve Memorial Union. Provost John Koker and Chancellor Andrew Leavitt will present the outlook for the year, followed by a time of fellowship and appreciation for faculty and staff at 4 p.m. UW System President Jay Rothman, making his first official visit to UW Oshkosh, will be a special guest.

The next week, an Opening Day Honors event is set for 8:30 a.m. Sept. 6 at the Culver Family Welcome Center, featuring recognition of employee award-winners and years-of-service milestones.

Faculty and staff are invited to attend both events and recognize the many achievements of the past year and celebrate the start of the 2022-23 academic year. Those planning to attend are asked to RSVP. For more information, visit uwo.sh/openingday.
