Past Convocations of The Sanville Institute
Convocations bring together all students and faculty for two-day conferences, held once each trimester. Students are provided a wide range of learning experiences: the opportunity to hear presentations by outside speakers, faculty, and other students, to make presentations, and to share ideas with members of other colloquia. Attendance is required. Faculty, Board members, and members of the professional community may participate in these events as well.
