Dear Old Dominion University Student,

As you look forward to completing your academic program, we would like to invite you to join us in planning in advance your graduation.

Convocation marks both the conclusion of one chapter in your lives and the beginning of another. We celebrate your accomplishments at this special, traditional ceremony, which brings together (con-vocatio) all members of the academic community to applaud your achievements and wish you continued success in the future.

We want your convocation to be meaningful and memorable. We know that you are busy with exams and essays, internships, applications to graduate school and for employment. These are all very important. For this reason, our faculty and staff have attempted to facilitate the graduation process by creating this web site, checklist and graduation fairs. I encourage you to complete the necessary steps as soon as possible.

I look forward to congratulating you soon in person.

Sincerely yours,
Roseann Runte
President
