Re: Convocation and the Twilight
Induction on the Green
This
fall, in keeping with our tradition, we
will commence the new academic year by
convening the UVM community for our
Convocation Ceremony in the Patrick
Gymnasium on Sunday, August 28. The
ceremonial celebration will begin at 6:30
p.m. It is free and open to the public.
Tickets will not be necessary. Faculty
and staff who wish to attend are invited
to sit in reserved seating near the
platform. Academic regalia is not
necessary.
Following the
Ceremony, we will walk in procession as a
community to the University Green for the
Class of 2020 Twilight Induction. In case
of rain, the Twilight Induction Ceremony
will be held indoors at Patrick Gymnasium.
The weather forecast will be assessed and
a decision will be made by noon, Sunday,
August 28. This information, as well as
additional details, will be available on
the Convocation web site: Convocation
2016.
I hope you will
join us for this inspiring occasion as we
welcome our new students in the Class of
2020 to campus and usher in a new academic
year at UVM. As we begin the 226th year of
the University, it is a great privilege to
pursue our academic mission on this
beautiful historic campus overlooking Lake
Champlain with the support of this
exceptional and vibrant community. I look
forward to celebrating the new academic
year with you all!
