Convocation and Graduation

On Thursday and Friday of the first week of May, the Foundation hosts a Convocation and Graduation ceremony in South Bend, Indiana, for graduating students. The two-day event is designed for the celebration of the achievements of Foundation students and is an important opportunity for students to network in an atmosphere of fellowship.

The two major events are the Thursday evening Convocation, at which the Runcie Lecture is delivered by an internationally distinguished guest, and the Friday morning Graduation ceremony.

Attendance at the convocation and graduation ceremonies is mandatory for all graduating students, except for Non-US residents, Ph.D. and Th.D. students.

The Convocation and Graduation are both held at the Century Center in South Bend, IN.
