In academia, “convocation” is a ceremonial assembly of the members of a college or university. Traditionally, it highlights accomplishments of the previous year and serves as an annual or biannual opportunity for the university community to hear from its leadership.  

Every two years, the faculty, staff, students and administration from across the Texas A&M Health Science Center (TAMHSC) gather to participate in a formal academic convocation. Unlike more traditional convocations, community members and stakeholders from throughout the state with a vested interest in the success of the TAMHSC are also invited to participate.
