The Convocation of the School of Public and International Affairs celebrates our candidates for graduation, our alumni, our faculty and staff, and the entire SPIA Community.

2022 SPIA Convocation will be held Friday, May 13th at Hugh Hodgson Concert Hall in the UGA Performing Arts Center.

Candidates may RSVP at the following link: Convocation RSVP

Given the size of our venue & our numbers of candidates, SPIA will have two in-person ceremonies at 1:00 pm & 3:30 pm. Both ceremonies offer the same experience and candidates will attend only one. Selection into the ceremonies will be first-come, first-served via RSVP.

Given potential changes to UGA guidelines for social gatherings and indoor events, circumstances around SPIA Convocation 2022 may be fluid.

Please e-mail [email protected] or Mr. Paul Welch at [email protected] with any questions about SPIA Convocation.

SPIA Convocation will be live-streamed via the SPIA YouTube page for those friends and family who are not able to join us in person.
