Fall Convocation
CELEBRATING YOUR PLACE IN THIS COMMUNITY
Most people know that when it comes time to graduate from university, there's a big ceremony to celebrate. We get to wear robes and special hats while members of the university administration confer degrees and give out special awards on the graduating class. That ceremony is called "Commencement." But did you know that Commencement is just one ritual of university life? Among other ceremonies are the Fall and Spring Convocations. During the Fall Convocation, we come together to welcome our newest members, and give them an opportunity to officially sign their names into our community ledger. If Commencement marks the end of school, Fall Convocation is most certainly the beginning. A celebration not to be missed!
