Let’s kick off the 2025–26 Academic Year together at Opening Convocation on Monday, Aug. 25, at 9 a.m. in Shove Memorial Chapel. This CC tradition brings our campus community together to reflect, welcome new faces, and look ahead to the year ahead.

Faculty: If you’d like to march in the ceremony, please register today.

Afterward, head to Tava Quad at 9:30 a.m. for a community breakfast, a perfect chance to reconnect, meet new colleagues, and enjoy a relaxed moment before classes begin at 10:30 a.m.

Your presence matters. Join your colleagues and start the year with connection, inspiration, and community.
