You’re invited to celebrate the achievements of our students and recognize faculty and staff mentors at Honors Convocation 2023.

Honors Convocation marks the traditional beginning of the Commencement season. President L. Song Richardson, Dean Emily Chan, and the Academic Events Committee invite the CC community to join the in-person ceremony on Tuesday, May 16, 11 a.m. in Shove Chapel. This event happens in place of the usual First Mondays program, despite the fact that it is on a Tuesday. 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.

This annual event celebrates outstanding students, faculty members, and staff, and includes the bestowing of departmental awards, all-college awards, and awards from the CC Student Government Association.
