The President’s Convocation for New Students is a ceremonial welcome for the first-year class and marks the beginning of their time at Tulane. This year’s convocation was held on Thursday, Aug. 18, in the Avron B. Fogelman Arena in Devlin Fieldhouse. President Fitts used the umbrella, and the brave act that made its use popular, as a metaphor in his address to the class saying, “Umbrellas — and minds — work best when they are open.”
