Convocation
Florida Southern’s monthly required Convocation series brings the campus community together for a shared experience of learning, engagement, and curiosity-driven exploration through outstanding presentations and programs. As an educational institution based on the liberal arts and with its vision, mission and values, FSC believes students should be exposed to a broad range of issues: religious, aesthetic, moral, as well as intellectual. It is one of the many ways in which the College is committed to providing educational and personal growth. Students who do not meet the attendance standards are placed on social probation for the following semester. One unexcused absence is allowed for each semester. Students graduating during the 2026-27 academic year are exempt from the attendance requirement.
All Convocations will take place on a Wednesday at the 10:50 AM hour. The 2026-27 Fall academic semester line up is as follows:
