Honors Convocation

At the end of Winter and Spring quarters there is an Honors Convocation at which each seminar presents its findings to other students in the Davis Honors Challenge and other interested parties. The Convocation takes place on the Saturday afternoon following the ninth week of classes at a large venue on campus.

All students registered for a seminar in the current quarter are expected to attend and participate in that quarter's Honors Convocation. All other DHC students and faculty are encouraged to attend. Convocation provides students and faculty participating in honors seminars an opportunity to see examples of how seminars solved problems and ways to present findings to a large audience.

Convocation Goals

DHC Faculty developed the following goals for the Convocation:

1. To celebrate the DHC community and the completion of the seminars by all participants.
2. To provide students with the opportunity to communicate their findings to a general audience in a clear and concise manner.
3. To build students' ability to distill information, communicate effectively and learn necessary presentation skills.
4. To reinforce the opportunity for students to produce and receive critical feedback.
