There is no better time at a University than convocation day! Graduates are excited and hopeful about their future. Parents and other supporters wear pride on their sleeves like newly minted badges! Emotions of happiness, hopefulness and relief buoy the day with an energy not easily replicated.

After the University ceremony, graduates and their families are invited to what has become a long-standing tradition in the Faculty of Architecture and Planning – the Convocation tea.
