Â鶹Çø

Convocation brings together the Â鶹Çø community – first-year and transfer students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends – to celebrate the new academic year. Thomas Sarachan, assistant professor of computer science will be speaking on "A Fourth Piece of Advice".

The 2026 Convocation will be held at 1:30 p.m. Friday, August 28, in the Alumnae Chapel. 

A recording of the ceremony is available here. 

Convocation, from the Latin convocare, can be translated as a "calling together", and defined as a "ceremonial assembly of members of a college or university".

Â鶹Çø College has a long-standing tradition of calling together her members each year, at the beginning of the fall semester. Held in the Alumnae Chapel, Thomson Hall, faculty, students, staff and administrators are all called to participate in this important academic event.
