<p>My daughter is a rising junior. I highly recommend staying for Convocation if you can. It is a lovely and meaningful ceremony. It will foreshadow the graduation ceremony, which is held at the same site - in the morning, “under the oaks.” President Lambert speaks to the parents as well as the students. </p>
<p>They have a “farewell lunch” afterward, outdoors if weather permits. It’s casual, and a great time to meet a few new people and say a final, low-key goodbye.</p>
<p>I felt so bad for last year’s freshmen and families with the hurricane! Convocation the year before was beautiful.</p>
