Fall Convocation 2020

This year’s Convocation ceremonies will be presented virtually at 11 a.m. on the Williams Convocation website  Featuring many of the elements of a traditional Convocation, the virtual event will include a selection of recorded messages and performances, including a musical performance by violist Rebecca Christainsen ’21, and more.

President Mandel, Bicentennial medalist Wole Coaxum ’92, and the new Williams College Society of Alumni President Kate Ramsdell ’97 will welcome the Class of 2024 at Convocation, which formally launches the academic year.

Established in 1993 on the occasion of the college’s 200th anniversary, Bicentennial Medals honor members of the Williams community for distinguished achievement in any field of endeavor. The Convocation ceremony will also include the introduction of the newest members of Phi Beta Kappa and the announcement of the winner of the Grosvenor Cup Award, given to the senior who has best demonstrated concern for the college community.
