TROY’s Phenix City Campus will host its annual Honors Convocation ceremony on May 19 to recognize outstanding student achievement in a unique way.
The Phenix City Campus will host a limited contact, drive-up ceremony to recognize Honors students with health and safety in mind. Students will receive their awards of recognition in curbside fashion to the tune of Pomp and Circumstance playing across the campus. Honors students are scheduled to arrive during elected time blocks to limit person-to-person contact. Family members and friends of the honoree are encouraged to cheer them on from their parking spaces.
In mid-March, when classes transitioned online and many University personnel began working remotely, faculty and staff at the Phenix City Campus emphasized the importance of moving forward with planning a new version of the traditionally held ceremony, either virtually or from a distance.
“I felt bad for the students that worked so hard for this honor and are now being told that everything is canceled,” said TROY staff member, Linda Finley.
Each year, Troy University recognizes some of its very best graduating students at a special ceremony called Honors Convocation. This ceremony is a tradition of long-standing in Colleges and Universities across the country and around the world. I congratulate all of you for this wonderful honor and wish you the best in the future.
Dr. David White, Vice Chancellor
