Here are some possibilities of what "pre-convocation" might refer to:
* Preparations for a convocation: This could refer to the various activities and events that happen *before* a formal convocation ceremony. This might include:
* Rehearsals for the ceremony: Students practicing the procession, speeches, etc.
* Graduation ceremonies: Some universities have separate graduation ceremonies for different faculties or departments, which could be considered "pre-convocation" events leading up to the main convocation.
* Academic gown fittings: Students may need to be fitted for their academic gowns and hoods before the main convocation.
* Graduation photos: Some universities might schedule official graduation photos before the convocation ceremony.
* A smaller event before a larger convocation: This could be a smaller gathering, meeting, or event that precedes a larger, more formal convocation ceremony.
* A specific event or tradition unique to a particular institution: Some universities may have their own unique events or traditions that they call "pre-convocation."
To understand what "pre-convocation" means in your specific context, you'll need to provide more information. For example:
* Where did you hear the term? (At a university, in a news article, etc.)
* What was the context of the discussion? (Was it about a specific event or program?)
Once you provide more details, I can help you understand what "pre-convocation" means in your situation.
