Academic Convocation 
This program contributes to the ceremonial spirit of graduation. Donned in caps and gowns, the candidates assemble to repeat the Veterinarian’s Oath and receive diplomas and AVMA membership certificates. The highlight of the program is the investiture ceremony, when each candidate is hooded with the academic hood, an ancient symbol of scholarly achievement. The platform party consists of deans, department chairmen, university administrators, faculty, and guests. An informal reception follows the program.

Honors Banquet
This annual event is scheduled at the end of the second semester just prior to commencement. It is at this time that veterinary students from all classes are honored for their outstanding academic achievement, leadership and service. In addition to the student awards, selected faculty awards are also presented.
