Convocation in Action

For The University of Western Australia, Convocation refers to all members of the University who are eligible to vote in elections for members of the Senate and the Council of Convocation.

Convocation’s activities tend to be led by the elected Council with the Warden and Deputy Warden. Convocation Council is focussed on its statutory roles but particularly on its aim to connect and communicate with its members and to celebrate their achievements after graduation. In this way it can support the University and the Vice-Chancellor.
