New Student Convocation 2009
August 30, 2009

More than 1,500 students gathered in McDonough Arena to culminate New Student Orientation (NSO) on Aug. 30 and were reminded about the mysteries and life lessons awaiting them during their matriculation.

Now that Georgetown’s most recent group of first-years has been introduced to the departments in which they will study, scheduled their classes, selected their dining plans and moved into their residence halls, Provost James O’Donnell told students that was only the beginning for them as classes start on Sept. 2.

And somewhere in the midst of it all, the first-year students will have to discover the keys that unlock their own voices and missions. Miranda Rose Hall (C’11) addressed her new peers by taking pages from her own Georgetown experience.
