You will receive three sets of tickes for each Family Day Event (Convocation, White Coat Ceremony and President's Welcome Lunch for Entering Students and Families) for you and your 2 guests in your Student Processing packet during Welcome Week. Tickets for these events are required as seating capacity is limited.
