POSTER TIME!
late 14c., convocacioun, "assembly of persons; the calling or holding of a meeting, assembling by summons," from Old French convocation and directly from Latin convocationem (nominative convocatio) "a convoking, calling, or assembling together," noun of action from past-participle stem of convocare "to call together," from assimilated form of com "with, together" (see con-) + vocare "to call," from vox "voice"
Consider this your official summons - I am calling you to assemble with me to celebrate the work that is being done across this campus under the auspices of Honors. We have so much to show the world and this is one place that allows us to do just that.
It is time for us to come together.
The Fall 2019 Honors Convocation will take place in Stage 14
from 4:00 – 6:00 on December 3rd.
You are ALL invited to make a poster that showcases
something you’ve done this semester in your Honors class. You can focus on any of the following:
- Class concepts
- Journals or response papers
- Research projects
- Homework assignments
- Course readings
- Personal journey or growth
- Connections with other classes
- Honors overall
- Seminar seating
In other words – take this opportunity to show off the hard
work you’ve been doing all semester.
Show the world what Honors classes are like and why they should be
appreciated and supported at FLCC and perhaps even convince another student to give
one a try.
Not artistic? Not to
worry – you can use words to create something fascinating.

In order to help support this event, we will be gathering on
the third floor of the library for Study-a-thon again this year. I’ll have poster board, crayons, markers,
pencils, colored pencils, and rulers. We
can make posters together and also take advantage of all the other amazing
things going on in the library that day.
So, to recap:
MAKE POSTERS – DECEMBER 2nd, Library, third
floor, 7:00
DISPLAY POSTERS – DECEMBER 3rd, Stage 14, 4:00
Think of the poster session as a way to not only showcase your own work, but also investing in your future. How, you ask? Poster sessions are common in professional conferences and conventions and are one of the easiest ways to get your work out there in the public sphere. Our version might be small, but it is no less significant or valid because of that. This is your chance to practice what it means to be a scholar who has moved outside the classroom and shared their work with a wider audience. Come, answer questions, see what other students have done, ask them questions. Mingle and interact with other invested students and then, when you get home, put on your resume that you did just that. It's fun, it's professional, it's interactive, and it's a chance to show off a little as well.
Come play with us.
