The Fall 2025 Cardinal Convocation is a required part of the FYE Seminar course. Students who have registered for an in-person seminar course will attend convocation, which will be held Monday, August 18.
Convocation will begin with welcome remarks from NIC faculty and staff, marking the official start of your academic journey. Just as commencement celebrates the completion of a degree, convocation celebrates the beginning of your college experience.
After the welcome address, you'll head to a designated classroom with your seminar class, where faculty will guide you through essential information about systems at NIC. To wrap up the day, you’ll take part in a campus-wide resource scavenger hunt—a fun and interactive way to get familiar with the support services and spaces available to you.
