Like reverse sides of a coin, as Commencement closes the door on the graduates’ time here, Convocation opens a door for new students and their commitment to academia. Convocation simultaneously introduces the arriving class to formal academic ceremonies while featuring the esteemed New Paltz Faculty. The atmosphere is lighthearted, without the strain of midterms, projects, and finals looming over the heads of students and faculty alike. It is within this optimistic spirit that Convocation provides an event for incoming students to formally join the New Paltz academic family and celebrate a fresh start.

Convocation information:

Any faculty or staff who wish to attend or participate in the ceremony must go to my.newpaltz.edu to register.

Line up for the marching faculty will begin at 11:40 a.m. in the Athletic & Wellness Center's Fitness Center West.
