What is Convocation? This is the question I asked my roommate all day Wednesday and Thursday because that is when I realized one of my classes would be canceled. Then I realized it was mandatory for me to attend. So Friday morning I ate breakfast from the cafe. Then I headed to Convocation. After receiving the program I realized it was to celebrate Howard University’s One Hundred and forty-Four Years being open as a University. Now I can truly say I expected nothing from Convocation but of course I walked away with inspiration to be a better scholar. In the convocation they talked about the pass but put great importance on the present and future. The convocation orator was Michael L. Lomax he spoke about Historical Black Colleges and Universities as a group and how they are so important for the African American community. Covocation was not only about Howard University but the state of all HBCU's. It was also brought up how we will be the donors of Howard University once we are alumni. When I left convocation I had no doubt Howard University is the school for me. The one thing I took from convocation is the past is the past and I must focus on the present and future.
