Description: The Founders' Day Convocation honors the University's founding in February of 1834. Awarded will be: the Medallion of Merit, the highest honor bestowed by the University, and faculty awards in the areas of advising, teaching and service. As is Wake Forest tradition, we will also have the opportunity to hear outstanding seniors read this year's winning Senior Orations and the Class of 2016 will be honored with a reflective "senior video" featuring student testimonials.
