The Convocation ceremony
The Academy of General Dentistry’s (AGD) Convocation is a ceremony of transition, renewals and celebrations. At this time we recognize our new Masters, Fellows and recipients of other honors.

The Convocation is conducted in full academic regalia, a ceremonial form of dress that dates back to the twelfth century. Originally, medieval students and faculty wore their everyday long robes to classes. Even as styles changed, the robes persisted as “working uniforms” for academics, clerics and judges. Oxford University assigned each academic discipline with specific colors.

This year’s Convocation ceremony is at 4:30 p.m. on Sat., July 19, 2008. It will be held at the Walt Disney World Dolphin Hotel.
