Join Montgomery College faculty, staff, and administrators for Fall Convocation 2026, Exceptional by Design, as we celebrate the intentional work, collaboration, and innovation that continue to advance student success and strengthen our community.

This year's Convocation will highlight the College's progress toward its Strategic Plan goals and Transformational Aspirations while looking ahead to new opportunities, including preparation for the 2027 Middle States reaccreditation visit. Through student stories, institutional achievements, and strategic initiative spotlights, the program will explore a central question: What makes Montgomery College exceptional?

Attendees will hear how faculty, staff, and administrators across the College are working together to create exceptional educational experiences that help students discover their passions, unlock their potential, and achieve extraordinary outcomes.

Following Convocation, employees are invited to the Exceptional Together appreciation event, a celebration of community, connection, and the shared commitment that makes Montgomery College an exceptional place to learn and work.
