Convocation
Convocation occurs every semester. In the fall, Convocation takes place on the first Wednesday of classes, and the last Wednesday of classes in the spring. This is an event intended for the entire college community to convene and celebrate the opening and closing of the academic year. A member of the faculty is selected by the president will address and welcome the freshmen class in the fall. The spring is a farewell to seniors.
