Convocation 2026 will be held on Sunday, August 16, 2026!
Convocation is an annual welcome tradition held for all Auburn students the night before the first day of classes in Jordan-Hare Stadium, and all first-year students (freshmen and transfer) are expected to attend! The program is filled with special guests, Auburn traditions, a class picture, fireworks, and more!
For Convocation 2026, Jordan-Hare Stadium Gates 5-8 (east side near Campus Green) will open to Auburn students at 6:15 pm. Students should come early to enjoy a variety of pre-show activities until the formal program begins at 7:15pm. The program will conclude with fireworks around 8:15pm.
Convocation is just one part of The First 56, a large collection of events and opportunities for students during the first 56 days of the fall semester (Aug. 10 – Oct. 4), beginning with move-in. See the full list of First 56 events at aub.ie/first56calendar.
