The 2025 History & Philosophy Convocation will be held in Smith Memorial Hall from 1:30-2:30 PM on Saturday, May 17. Doors open for guests and participants at 12:30. We invite all students earning degrees in History or Philosophy since Fall 2024 to participate in this ceremony, including those who intend to graduate in August 2025.
Students are required to wear academic regalia for the History & Philosophy Convocation and for the university-wide Commencement ceremony. A professional photographer will take several photos of each graduate during the History & Philosophy Convocation. Graduates will be contacted via email about viewing and purchasing photos.
Tickets are required for the Convocation ceremony.
