Norwich Together, Norwich Forever.

The Convocation Ceremony that brings together the Norwich community, including students, faculty, staff, and alumni, to commemorate the university's founding principles and celebrate the pursuit of knowledge, leadership, and service.

Convocation is a meaningful gathering that marks the beginning of each academic year, embodying the essence of unity, purpose, and scholarly pursuit. This annual tradition serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that Norwich University imparts to its community, shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
