Convocation

The Start of Something Special

Convocation marks the official start of your college experience at CSM. This special event welcomes new students into the community and celebrates the beginning of your academic journey. It’s a time to come together, meet your classmates, and feel the support of the entire campus.

What to Expect

Convocation takes place at the beginning of the academic year, just before classes start. It’s more than just an event. It marks the moment you officially become part of something bigger. Convocation typically consists for the following:

  • A formal welcome from campus leadership
  • Introduction of the Mercy tradition
  • A chance to meet fellow new students
  • A celebration of the start of your college journey

Convocation will be held at the conclusion of New Student Orientation on Tuesday, August 25 from 1pm to 2:30pm. You’ll receive information about the schedule, location, and what to expect so you can be ready to take part in this important CSM tradition. Please contact [email protected] with any questions.
