Faculty and Staff Information

Join the Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs in celebrating the achievements of Kean University's 2024 honors graduates at Honors Convocation. The event will be held on Friday, May 3 at 2:00pm at the Harwood Arena. 

Faculty are invited to participate in the procession and cheer their students on during the ceremony and following reception. Faculty must RSVP here no later than March 1.  Participating faculty must wear regalia and be ready to step-off no later than 1:30pm. If you do not have your own regalia, you may order it here (regalia for commencement may be used for Honors Convocation too). Please note that regalia will not be provided, so plan in advance accordingly. Orders must be received by March 24 and picked-up at the Kean Bookstore from April 29-May 12. 

Staff members can support Honors Convocation by volunteering to become a marshal. Marshals assist by checking-in students, leading the student procession, guiding students to the stage, ushering guests to their seats, etc. Due to the limited seating, marshaling is the only way in which staff will be able to participate in the day’s festivities (unless they are a ticketed guest of a student). Staff interested in participating in Honors Convocation 2024 must complete this form to indicate their interest and availability no later than March 1.  Please note that marshals must attend an in-person orientation session on Wednesday, May 1 from 10:00-11:00a.m. in the Harwood Arena. 

The Honors Convocation website has more details regarding the event. However, additional questions related to Honors Convocation may be directed to honors@kean.edu. Questions related to regalia and/or commencement, should be directed to commencement@kean.edu. 

Thank you for your support of our honors graduates!
