Convocation

Spring 2010 Schedule

The Faith and Life Convocation Series brings the college community together on a regular basis for outstanding presentations and programs. Florida Southern College believes that an educational institution based on the liberal arts should expose students to a broad range of issues – religious, aesthetic, moral, as well as intellectual – and therefore your attendance is required. It is one of the many ways in which the college is committed to providing educational excellence.

All events take place at 10:10 a.m. in Branscomb Auditorium, unless otherwise noted, and are open to the public.
