This video, titled Convocation for Honors, George H.W. Bush, occurred in Alumni Gym on April 10, 2001. Elon College Convocation for Honors began in 1995 with the Elon Community gathering for Honors to recognize academic achievement, community service, and philanthropy. These ideals reflected the generosity of spirit and a commitment to excellence that are at the heart of a liberal education. The Elon College mission statement declared that “Elon embraces its founders’ vision of an academic community that transforms mind, body, and spirit” and nurtures “active student engagement with a faculty dedicated to excellent teaching and scholarly accomplishment.” Elon is committed to fostering a rich intellectual community. The program for Convocation for Honors included: The Processional, Triumphal March from Aida, Giuseppe Verdi; The Academic Procession, The College Mace, The Flags, The Class of 2001, The Academic Honors Students, The College Trustees, The College Faculty, and The Platform Participants (The camera view was from the second floor in the back of Alumni Gym.
