The University of Louisiana Monroe kicks off the new school year with the annual Convocation March and ceremony on Wednesday, August 22, 2018. The event gives freshmen a view of the Fant-Ewing Coliseum as a place they will attend for numerous events, but also, where they will receive their diplomas in four years. Then students attend their first Pep Rally in Malone Stadium! Photo by Emerald McIntyre/ULM Photo Services
