About Convergence: ºÚÁÏÍø's Creative Homecoming
Convergence: ºÚÁÏÍø’s Creative Homecoming 2026, is our inaugural weekend that celebrates the creativity, community, and courageous voices that define ºÚÁÏÍø. The theme, KALEIDOSCOPE, honors 25 years of Manifest: ever-changing, boldly diverse, and powered by imagination.
Anchored by Manifest—ºÚÁÏÍø’s signature arts festival showcasing the incredible work of our graduating students through gallery exhibitions, live music, film screenings, fashion shows, and more—the weekend is packed with opportunities to reconnect with fellow members of the , experience the future of creative culture by connecting with incoming students, celebrate inaugural alumni awardees, and welcome the next generation of alumni as we cap it all off with commencement ceremonies.
From behind-the-scenes experiences and alumni gatherings to arts events, receptions, and celebrations across campus, Convergence is your invitation to return to your creative home, rediscover the city that inspires us, and be part of something brilliantly collective.
How to Attend Convergence
