For the first time, Convocation, which marks the official start of the school year, was held outdoors on Tuesday, September 7. The event began with a procession of cheering students, who marched from their dorms to Main Circle, led by Blue & White and student leaders. The newly-imagined ceremony captured the spirit of new beginnings that resonated throughout the week of Opening Days this fall. After a challenging, but ultimately successful completion to the 2020-21 year due to the Covid epidemic, Hotchkiss is back – with 611 students strong! Watch of video of Convocation and Matriculation below.
