Academic Ceremonies
Celebrating our community of scholars
As a Bulldog, there are two events that mark your academic journey at Butler: your induction as a scholar at Convocation and your commencement as a graduate.
Convocation
President James M. Danko, Provost and Executive Vice President Michael Hole, the faculty, and University leaders celebrate your admission to the Butler University community of scholars.
Commencement
Commencement represents the culmination of a student’s academic achievement. It is a time of celebration and reflections for students, families, friends, faculty, and staff.
