returning to campus for a special convocation ceremony this weekend. The University has organized the celebration for these grads who could not accept their degrees in person because of COVID-19 restrictions. The university held virtual convocation ceremonies instead in 2020 and 2021.
The schools’s Director of Alumni Affairs, Shanna Hopkins, says this ceremony, to be held Saturday afternoon at 3 pm., is a way of putting closure for the students on their academic experience at St. FX.
Hopkins says this ceremony will have the same feel as a traditional convocation, including addresses from the 2020 class speakers, who didn’t get to deliver their message to classmates. Hopkins says a number of departments are also hosting events for the 2020 and 2021 graduates.
On Sunday the Spring Convocation for 2023 graduates will take place, with morning and afternoon ceremonies scheduled.
