CETE Doctoral Convocation

This event, hosted by the Contextually Engaged Theological Education (CETE) Foundation, brings together graduates, scholars, and the entire doctoral community in the historic and majestic setting of the Ancient Spanish Monastery Chapel.

This extraordinary convocation is not just a ceremony but a celebration of the guild of theologians across time and place. The Ancient Spanish Monastery, built in Spain nearly 900 years ago and reassembled stone by stone in North Miami, provides a fitting backdrop for this sacred gathering.

All graduates are encouraged to attend in full doctoral regalia, with a special procession marking the significance of their accomplishments. The ceremony will feature hooding, blessings, and an opportunity for personal reflection.

Highlights of the Event

• Hooding Ceremony: A symbolic processional as our newest graduates join the body of scholars.
• Graduate Presentations: Hear from Adeline Bernadette Jean, Chidi Francis Nwakile, and Karen Reed on their scholarly contributions.
• Reflections and Blessings: A moment of unity and spiritual connection, celebrating the journey of each scholar.
• Reception: Connect with fellow graduates, faculty, and community members following the convocation.

Additional Details
Please arrive 30 minutes early if you are a participating graduate. Graduates will process in together and are encouraged to leave their caps in their cars for the chapel ceremony.

We look forward to celebrating with you at this unique event. Whether you're a local or traveling from out of town, this convocation is a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with the community and honor the achievements of our newest scholars.
