In an age marked by busy-ness, disconnection, and artificiality, Berea College’s Convocation program offers a respite. Through a communal intellectual or artistic experience, Convocations provide the College and the local community a chance to be present, engage in deep thought, and enjoy the arts. A key feature of Berea College’s commitment to the liberal arts, Convocations are the school’s distinguished lecture and performance series that cultivates connection among people, across ideas, and through diverse ways of knowing.   

The goals of Berea College’s Convocation program are to 

Foster listening and dialogue across difference by featuring a diverse array of speakers, performers, and perspectives. 

Since its inception, Berea College Convocations has made lectures and the performing arts available without charge both to Berea College students and to the public. Persons wishing to contribute to the endowment fund for Convocations are invited to contact the Alumni, Communications and Philanthropy Office at 800-457-9846.
