Posted: Tuesday, March 12, 2019Today: Final Day to Order Regalia Rentals for Honors Convocation
The campus community is invited to attend the 62nd annual Honors Convocation on Thursday, April 18, at 3:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Rockwell Hall. Today is the final day to order regalia rentals for faculty and professional staff members who wish to attend and wear regalia.
There will be no general academic procession of faculty and staff, though anyone who attends either as a student’s honored guest or on their own to support the honored students are welcome to wear academic garb. If you wish to use rented regalia for both Honors Convocation and Commencement, you will be able to keep it until May 20. Otherwise, rented regalia for Honors Convocation must be returned to the bookstore by Monday, April 22. Information with pricing is posted on the Academic Affairs website under Faculty/Staff Regalia. A limited number and variety of gowns are available for loan through the Academic Affairs Office, and a regalia loan request form is also provided on the website. Please provide your own hood and cap, either rented or owned, if possible.
The event is sponsored by the Academic Affairs Office. Contact Carolyn Martino, assistant to the provost, with any Honors Convocation questions. Please note this year's new start time, and thank you for supporting our honors students by attending the ceremony.
