51³Ô¹ÏÍø Together, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø Forever.

The Convocation Ceremony that brings together the 51³Ô¹ÏÍø community, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni, to commemorate the university's founding principles and celebrate the pursuit of knowledge, leadership, and service.

The slides below showcase just some of the ceremony where 51³Ô¹ÏÍø celebrated the academic success of returning students, officially welcomed all first year students, and challenged everyone to go beyond what they otherwise thought possible.

Convocation is a meaningful gathering that marks the beginning of each academic year, embodying the essence of unity, purpose, and scholarly pursuit. This annual tradition serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that 51³Ô¹ÏÍø imparts to its community, shaping the leaders of tomorrow.

As part of this year's Convocation, the students of the class of 2027 and other attendees were greeted with a special video message featuring President Mark C. Anarumo, Provost and Dean of Faculty Karen Gaines, and Commandant William F. McCollough.
