Jason Barnhart will welcome all attendees and extend a call to worship. English professor Naomi Saslaw will read scripture, and assistant director of Christian Ministry Mallorie Miller will give the benediction.

Emily Sycks, a junior at Ashland, will provide two selections of music. Daivon Barrow and Caroline Toth, both presidential interns at the university, will also provide readings for the event and Joey Barretta, student senate president, will offer a welcome.

The Fall Convocation is free. It will begin at 3 p.m. at the Jack and Deb Miller Chapel, on the corner of King Road and College Avenue.
