Convocation 2009

At the start of your senior year at Longwood University you have the opportunity to participate in Convocation. Convocation is a huge tradition here where you are officially recognized as being a senior. The President of Longwood, the amazing Dr. Cormier, speaks as well as a guest speaker and as you will see in the video, the Senior class president. For convocation you wear your gown, and you have one of your best friends, or your little in your sorority or fraternity, make you a cap. This cap can have anything from your favorite things, the most embarrassing stories you had at Longwood, or the most memorable. At the end of the ceremony Dr. Cormier announces everyone as officially being recognized as a senior and your capper puts your crazy cap on your head. Most caps are outrageous, and everyone gets into it.... It's such an amazing tradition :)
