The word “Convocation” comes from the Latin word “convocāre”, meaning “to call/come together.” In history, a synodical assembly of a church is at times called “Convocation.” The most notable Convocations were Canterbury and York. They existed from the 7th century until 1920. In 1660 they approved the Book of Common Prayer, which remains the official prayer book to the Church of England till today.
HKU Convocation has powers set out in its Constitution and prescribed by University statues – including to discuss, to communicate, and to solicit funds for purposes of the University. Full Constitution: convocation.hku.hk
The Standing Committee is exploring ways to exercise its powers responsibly, on behalf of Convocation, to assist the development of our alma mater. We look forward to hearing from you and all members.
An Evening with President Professor Xiang Zhang, on April 3, 2019, was the first Convocation event to be broadcast on Facebook Live. “There was very active participation,” said Convocation Chairman Patrick Poon. “It was a success in real-time communication, and allowed even overseas members to comment on a Hong Kong event live.”
