What the heck is a “Commensa”? In medieval Europe when students met to eat in the dining hall, professors sat at a raised table known as a Commensa. When it came time for graduation, professors invited new faculty and the graduating class to join them as the Commensa to commemorate their becoming a part of the academic community. We look forward to welcoming you in celebration of your accomplishments.
