This year, the University celebrates the 85th anniversary of the Honor Code. Even while we stress personal honor at Honors Convocation, we encourage students to see the beauty of academic life by this ceremony wherein we provide a visual symbol of a community of scholars.

Students in the upper levels who have earned honors and awards during the previous academic year receive them at this Convocation to inspire and encourage their peers and to affirm the value and integrity of intellectual work. Students and faculty will line up at 3 p.m.

The theme, grounded in Laudato Si’, is “Community Resilience & Empowerment.” Our keynote address will be from 11am-12pm in LeClerc Theatre, followed by several interactive afternoon workshops from 1pm-1:45pm and 2pm-2:45pm. 

This year's keynote speaker is Jamie McDonald, current CEO of UpSurge Baltimore. Jamie is an experienced entrepreneur, movement builder, speaker, and workshop leader. Prior to joining UpSurge, she was an advisor to global entrepreneurs, social innovators, and impact-focused executives at companies, organizations and philanthropies. UpSurge Baltimore launched in 2021 to found, support, scale and invest in high-impact startups. UpSurge is a public benefit corporation (PBC) working to propel Baltimore into the top tier of innovation cities

All faculty, staff and students should arrive by 10:30 a.m. to the LeClerc Auditorium lobby and MBK Gym. The event will start at 11 a.m. in the LeClerc Auditorium. Following Investiture, President Yam is hosting a BBQ and Tailgate at 12:00 p.m. on Alumnae Field as we cheer on the Field Hockey team whose game starts at 1 p.m.

Tutoring is on Saturdays from 1-3pm at the Immigration Outreach Service Center on Loch Raven Blvd. It is designed for pre-K to 12th grade students from immigrant families to support their academic progress.
