Honors Convocation

The 2023 Honors Convocation Ceremony will be held in person at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, May 3 in Slade Theatre, Yager Hall, on the College campus.

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, 83 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.

Hartwick College President Darren Reisberg and members of the Hartwick College community convene to honor and congratulate the recipients of more than 125 awards as well as Faculty Scholars, Honors Program and Honors Society students, and John Christopher Hartwick Scholars.
