Humanities Convocation is a celebration just for you, our College of Humanities graduates! It is a lively and intimate ceremony that will give your family and friends an opportunity to hear your name called and cheer on your achievement as you cross the stage, greet Dorrance Dean A-P Durand and collect a special Humanities medallion. There is one ceremony in the Winter to recognize all Bachelor's, Master's and PhD degree candidates. There are two separate ceremonies in the Spring to recognize our Master's/PhD degree candidates and our Bachelor's degree candidates.
