DURANT, Okla. -- Southeastern Oklahoma State University's Freshman Convocation will be held at 4:30 p.m. Saturday in Morrison Hall's Montgomery Auditorium as part of "Move-In Day."

The Convocation is the official welcoming ceremony for all new freshmen and their families. A free cookout on the front lawn is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. for all freshmen, their families and guests.
