2024 Honors Week Events

Honors Convocation Ceremony – May 1

On April 24, 1940, Hartwick College’s “Scholastic Honor Day” began as a community-wide event in which faculty, staff, students and parents convened to announce the academic accomplishments of the student body.

Now, 84 years later, the tradition continues. Today, while the event is named “Honors Convocation,” the intent of the ceremony remains. The event serves to recognize exceptional academic achievement, celebrating excellence in scholarship.

Honors Recognition Reception – May 2

The event recognized Dean’s List recipients and seniors who have completed the College Honors program or who have been inducted into the Hartwick Honor Society.

Student Showcase – May 3

A campus-wide celebration of student achievements through presentations, performances, poster sessions and creative projects takes place at various locations on campus from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
