Liberty University Convocation
Overview
The Largest Weekly Gathering of Christian Young People in the World
The most effective culture-makers can comfortably examine an issue from many perspectives. And they understand that changing culture means actively engaging with it.
At Liberty, we invite leaders of distinction — in business, entertainment, government, ministry, sports, the arts, and more — to share their perspectives from the Convocation stage. Every week, you’ll be compelled to think clearly and with conviction about big ideas and important cultural issues.
No matter which discipline you choose, Convocation empowers you to see into professional spheres outside your own, so you can graduate well-rounded and prepared to surpass the expectations of your future employers.
