The Lasallian Convocation
The Lasallian Convocation
The Lasallian Convocation has been held each academic year since the fall of 1992. The purpose of the convocation is to bring together faculty, staff and administrative personnel to explore an aspect of the Lasallian tradition of the College. The convocation is generally held at the start of each academic year and serves as an opportunity for the College community to unite in association for the mission. The format usually consists of a talk or panel discussion followed by a dinner.
Please join us in the fall for the:
