Celebrating Student Diversity at Maricopa
Maricopa has a proud tradition of offering students the opportunity to celebrate graduation through culturally focused Convocations. These smaller, more intimate events are cultural celebrations that affirm our students and reach out to families and friends in a meaningful way. All Maricopa Community College graduates, their friends and families, and all employees are invited to attend any of the Convocation ceremonies.
