Monmouth College Freshman Seminar:
Convocation Guidelines -- Fall 2001:
Monmouth College is "a community of learners [who] strive to create and sustain an environment that is value-centered and intellectually challenging" (Monmouth College Catalog, 1998-99). Convocations are one opportunity for us to challenge ourselves intellectually and learn the value of careful listening and reflection. The speakers we invite to present convocations are chosen because we anticipate gaining much from their experience and knowledge. The speakers are professionals in their discipline. Respect for others and dedication to the academic enterprise is a value we cherish that is reflected in our expectations for behavior during convocations.
Convocation expectations:
1) Out of respect for the speaker and fellow students, do not talk during the convocation.
2) Arrive early or on time for convocations. Convocations begin promptly at 11:00 a.m.
3) Sit in the area assigned to your freshman seminar section. The balcony is not open during convocations.
4) Remain seated in the auditorium until the speaker is finished and the question and answer session is over. A moderator will announce when you are dismissed.
5) Attendance is mandatory at all convocations listed on the course syllabus and any additional convocations designated by your instructor. Missed convocations count as a missed class.
