From the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs
Posted: Monday, March 10, 2025Call for Marchers: Honors Convocation April 25
The campus community is invited to attend the university’s traditional celebration of the 68th Honors Convocation on Friday, April 25, at 3:00 p.m. in the Performing Arts Center at Rockwell Hall.
In an effort to add to the pomp and circumstance of this ceremonial event, we invite faculty and professional staff to march in the processional. Academic regalia is required. Please complete the Marcher Registration Form by Friday, April 11.
If you have been invited to attend the Honors Convocation by a student (honoree) as their guest faculty, we ask that you sit and participate in the ceremony with your student instead of participating in the processional. Academic regalia is optional for guest faculty.
Regalia rentals are available to order through the Barnes & Noble at Buffalo State Bookstore until Thursday, April 3. Marchers’ regalia rental pricing and loan request information are provided in the Regalia Section of the Marchers web page. Contact Marybeth Keller, general merchandise manager, or call (716) 878-5509 for more information. If you are also planning to march in Commencement, you will not be required to return the rented regalia until Friday, May 23, after Commencement. If you are not participating in Commencement, rented regalia must be returned by Friday, May 2.
A limited inventory of doctoral and master’s gowns, caps, and hoods may be available for loan through the Academic Affairs Office until Monday, April 21. Please contact Cathy Cook, administrative assistant 2, for more information or to place your order.
Honors Convocation celebrates the academic excellence of our distinguished students and faculty. We hope you will join us.
