Honors Convocation 2021
Honors Convocation is one of the most important events in the life of our University. Troy University pays tribute to our outstanding students at Honors Convocation. Students who have been initiated into honor societies during this past academic year are recognized during the program by their respective college Dean. Individual awards are given to exceptional students by University departments and honor societies for their contributions to academics and the University. Faculty and staff are also recognized for their outstanding service to Troy University.
This year we will host Honors Convocation on Monday, April 19 at 7 pm in Claudia Crosby theater. In order to follow COVID guidelines award recipients and two guests will be invited to attend. We encourage new honor society members and others to watch through Troy TrojanVision.
