Clarkson University

What is the purpose of the Convocation Series?

    It is a program designed primarily for freshman to introduce them to distinguished speakers and highly acclaimed performers whose appearances may broaden their educational experience. However, it is open to the whole Clarkson Community.

Do I have to attend all of them?

    Freshmen are expected to attend at least three or more each semester. This will enable you to explore contemporary issues as well as appreciate the aesthetics of a fine arts performance.

What will happen if I do not attend at least three convocations per semester?

    You will receive a letter from the Vice President of Student Life asking you to complete this requirement by attending additional convocations the following semester.
