A. The SLIS convocation ceremony is exclusive to our department and is for SLIS graduates only, whereas the SJSU commencement is university-wide and students are not recognized individually. At the SLIS ceremony, SLIS graduate names are called individually, they walk across a stage and a hooding ceremony takes place. The SLIS ceremony also includes several special library and information science speakers. There is a reception held afterward and students get a chance to meet with SLIS faculty. The entire event is also broadcast online for those in our program who are unable to attend. • Q.
