Convocation
Celebrating our students' academic achievements
Each spring the UNH Manchester community celebrates the outstanding academic achievements of our undergraduate students at the Honors Convocation ceremony. Convocation is the second largest academic ceremony at the university, next to commencement, and a time for students and their families to join with University administration, faculty, staff and their peers to celebrate their academic success.
The program includes recognition of student achievement including Presidential and University Honors, induction into Phi Beta Kappa and Phi Alpha Theta honors societies, Master Tutor Awards, Writing Across the Curriculum Awards, Academic Program Awards, Undergraduate Research Conference Awards and presentation of the Lewis Knight Scholarship.
Students or parents with questions regarding criteria or qualifications for honors should contact the Academic Counseling Office.
