Convocation is here
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Convocation is the highlight of the academic year as students celebrate their achievements with peers, family and friends before embarking on the next chapter of their lives and their ongoing quest for learning. Convocation is sure to be fabulous, with three days of inspiring speeches, great memories and celebrated accomplishments, and some amazing honorary degree recipients.
