The University of Detroit Mercy\u2019s Honors Convocation is a cherished tradition that celebrates the exceptional academic and leadership achievements of its students.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s College of Liberal Arts & Education (CLAE) ceremony was held on March 24 at Gesu Catholic Church. The gathering stood as a testament to the vibrant spirit of the CLAE community.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During the ceremony, the love felt by families, friends, professors, staff, and individuals from the CLAE community filled the church as students were called on stage.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Honors Convocation commenced with a welcome from Dean Jocelyn Boryczka, followed by an invocation from Si Hendry, S.J., director of the Catholic Studies Program.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, the recipient of the Dudley Randall Poetry Prize, Sam Gilmore, shared their first-place poem \u201cThe Girl I Used to Be\u201d.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After Gilmore\u2019s reading, the award ceremony began, recognizing achievements across various departments of CLAE and University-wide accomplishments from the University Honors Program, Kappa Gamma Pi, and the Institue of Leadership & Service.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The event finished by honoring students with a high grade point average through the Dean\u2019s Gold Key Award and the Dean\u2019s Award.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Each student has integrated the specific knowledge acquired within the classroom into real-world settings from clinical placements to internships, educational experiences, volunteer work, and more.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, honorees embody the core values and traditions of the University of Detroit Mercy as a Jesuit and Mercy institution.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
