A History of Tradition

As of late, we have had a tradition of prominent speakers, such as Indra Nooyi and David Gergen, give their insights on world issues and current events, no tradition remains ingrained within the Wake Forest community as Convocation. Founders' Day Convocation is a noteworthy occasion that commemorates the challenges and triumphs that have shaped this institution, and brings our community together. On February 26, 2009 (4pm), Professor of History Anthony Parent will speak on the struggles and successes of diversity on Wake’s campus. While many traditions have faded over time, Convocation withstands the test of time and allows us as the Wake Forest community to share ideas, learn a new perspective, and most importantly, connect with our Wake Forest. Join us in celebrating your successes as the Wake Forest community.

**At the conclusion of Convocation, all are invited to attend a reception in Scales Lobby.**
