Convocation

Convocation is a formal ceremony held by educational institutions, such as universities, to officially recognize and celebrate the graduation of students. During the event, graduates often wear academic regalia, and the institution’s leaders, like the president or chancellor, may give speeches. It’s a symbolic moment marking students’ achievement of their academic goals, often including the presentation of diplomas or degrees. Convocations foster a sense of accomplishment, community, and tradition, allowing graduates, families, and faculty to come together in recognition of academic success.
