Honors Convocation

SUNY Oswego's annual Honors Convocation -- the 2012 edition set for 3 p.m. Friday, April 20 in the Campus Center arena -- celebrates the academic achievements of around 115 students throughout the disciplines. Sponsored by Vega, the student women's honor society, the event takes place during Oswego's Honors Week highlighting the outstanding accomplishments of students and faculty.

Awards from departments, the Oswego Alumni Association, Oswego College Foundation and Division of Extended Learning, as well as the Chancellor's Awards for Student Excellence, will mark this joyous celebration of academic success.

Guest speaker will be Marianne Myles, a 1975 SUNY Oswego graduate who has served as U.S. ambassador to Cape Verde, among many notable Foreign Service assignments and projects. She currently serves as dean of the School of Language Studies at the Foreign Service Institute of the U.S. Department of State.

Sponsored by Vega, the junior and senior women's honor society, this annual event is an important and longstanding tradition on campus. All students, faculty and professional staff are invited to attend and offer congratulations to our achievers and their families at a reception immediately following the ceremony.
