Join your colleagues to kick off the new semester at College Convocation! The morning begins with an employee reception and breakfast at 7:30 am in Building H Lobby, followed by the main program at 8 am.

Convocation brings together faculty, staff, and administrators to celebrate the start of the semester, hear updates from college leadership, recognize achievements, and look ahead to the goals that will shape the year ahead. This annual gathering fosters connection, collaboration, and inspiration as we reaffirm our commitment to student success and community impact.

All college offices will be closed from 8:00 to 10:00 am am to ensure everyone can participate. Convocation sets a positive tone for the semester, reminding us that our collective efforts make ECC a place where students—and each of us—can thrive.
