What is Convocation?

Convocation comes from the Latin for "calling together." At 91ÊÓƵ, Convocation is the first–time incoming students come together to meet the President, Provost, Dean for Students, and key student leaders. It is one of the most important traditions for our incoming students and sets the academic tone for their years to come.
