At Tennessee Wesleyan University, all full-time students are required to attend five convocations a semester. Convocations at TWU are educational programs created by Student Life to help students develop a new worldview; you can read more about the purpose of convocations on the Tennessee Wesleyan website. There are several types of convocations to provide students a variety.

There are a few convocations left in the fall semester. Chapel at Trinity United Methodist happens every Sunday and Thursday at 11 a.m., and Student Life operated convocations are held Tuesdays at 11 a.m. If you have not attended 5 convocations for the semester, you may be interested in what has yet to come.

Veterans Day

November 8: There is a Veteran’s Day convocation that recognizes veterans for their service. All students are invited to pay respect for the work and the sacrifices of the veterans in our community. This event will be held in the Colloms Campus Center from 11 am to 12 pm.
