Commencement festivities begin Tuesday, May 16, with Honors Convocation at 11 a.m. in Shove Memorial Chapel. President Richardson, Dean Emily Chan, and the Academic Events Committee invite the CC community to Honors Convocation. This will happen in place of the usual First Mondays event. There will be a livestream available on our website for those who are unable to attend in person. There is no need to register for the livestream.

During the ceremony, the recipients of the first Just World Awards will be announced. These new CC president’s awards recognize alumni, students, staff, faculty, and retirees who demonstrate their dedication to principles that create a more just and equitable world. Dean Chan will also be presenting professorships and faculty teaching awards.

Faculty and members of Cabinet are invited to participate in the procession for Honors Convocation. If you are interested, make sure you register in advance (note, this link will take you to registration for Honors Convocation, Baccalaureate, and Commencement). Please contact Brenda Soto with any questions.

Classes will adjourn at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday so all may attend the event and celebrate the inspiring individuals being honored for their academic, co-curricular, athletic, and other accomplishments. We hope to see you at the celebration!
