Encaenia is an academic or sometimes ecclesiastical ceremony, usually performed at colleges or universities. It generally occurs some time near the annual ceremony for the general conference of degrees to students. The word is from Latin, meaning dedication or consecration, and is ultimately derived from the Greek word 'εγκαίνια', meaning a festival of renewal or dedication, and corresponds to the English term Commencement.
