Watch ‘Day of Convocation’ formal ceremony via live stream
Starting at 11 a.m., today, view a live broadcast of the formal ceremony for the “Day of Convocation,” a campus-wide initiative to formally induct new students into the UNC Charlotte academic community.
During the roughly 75-minute event, in which faculty will march in full regalia, new students will hear welcoming remarks from Provost Joan Lorden, and Chancellor Philip L. Dubois will provide an overview of the University and its mission. Greg Starrett, professor of anthropology, will deliver a keynote address, and Mike Wilson, current member of the University’s Board of Trustees, UNC Charlotte alumnus and former student body president, will talk about the institution’s founder Bonnie Cone and how she helped shape the University. Former Student Government Association President Cameron Hurst will introduce students to the University’s honor code, the Noble Niner, which she helped co-create, and current SGA President Mitch Daratony also will speak.
