Honors Convocation
Delivering this year's Honors Convocation address is Dr. Alvin Diamond, recipient of the prestigious Wallace D. Malone, Jr. Distinguished Faculty Award and a professor of biology. With 36 years of service to the University, Dr. Diamond has made enduring contributions to teaching, research and institutional growth. His leadership has been instrumental in restoring the Troy University Arboretum, expanding the TROY Herbarium and advancing ecological research that has earned national recognition. These achievements include a National Science Foundation grant, recent honors from the Alabama Forestry Commission, and selection by NASA to receive a “Moon Tree” seedling that orbited the moon during the 2022 Artemis I mission.
Honors Convocation stands as a signature academic event at Troy University, dedicated
to celebrating excellence, achievement and service across the university community.
This distinguished ceremony recognizes students who have earned awards for outstanding
scholarship and service, presented by university departments and academic organizations.
Following these honors, students inducted into prestigious honor societies over the
past academic year will be acknowledged for their dedication to scholarly achievement.
Faculty and staff will also be honored for their exceptional contributions to advancing
Troy University's mission of academic excellence.
