Convocation
Each fall, in celebration of the start of the new academic year, the College holds its annual Academic Convocation to welcome students to Lehman College, and to honor faculty and staff. There is a formal procession of the faculty in academic attire and a program that recognizes faculty and staff recipients of Lehman awards for excellence in teaching, research, and service and includes a keynote speaker.

Convocation will take place on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 11:00 a.m. in the Lovinger Theatre. A reception for faculty, students, and staff immediately follows in the Faculty Dining Room.

Please encourage your students to attend Convocation, as this first major event of the academic year is intended to introduce our students to the faculty and administrators and to make them feel they are at home at Lehman.

I encourage you to join with your colleagues in the formal procession of faculty.
