Liberty University Convocation, North America’s largest weekly gathering of Christian young people, is held three times a week in the Vines Center. Students hear from prominent speakers of national and global significance from a variety of professions — ministry, business, sports, entertainment, medicine, and more. Convocation speakers challenge, motivate, and inspire students as they share their stories. Many Convocations can be viewed live on the Liberty Channel or online, as part of Liberty University Online Communities. Past events can be viewed at www.Liberty.edu/Streaming or on Liberty’s YouTube channel.
