The purpose of the Fall Convocation series is to support our incoming students with embracing the Bellarmine IMPACT: belonging, wellness, engagement, and purpose. The series offers weekly events or programs on Thursdays between 11 a.m. and 12 p.m. so that students can enrich their Knight 101 course with cocurricular learning experiences. The convocation series includes faculty members, Academic Affairs, Student Affairs, Business Office, and community leaders. The convocation series will welcome all current students but focus on programming that supports the Knight 101 weekly topics and First 50 Days retention campaign. Mapping out convocation across the semester allows students the proper support to complete their CORE portfolio requirements. Convocation attendance will be strongly encouraged.
