The families of the Class of 2026 graduates are cordially invited to this year’s Baccalaureate Service on May 8 at 7 pm in Gray Chapel (University Hall). Baccalaureate is an opportunity to reflect on and celebrate the varied experiences that have shaped the spiritual and faith journeys of this year’s seniors.\u00a0 The theme chosen by the student planning committee this year is “Illuminating Our Paths.” Religious Life Awards will be presented by the Chaplain’s Office, and we will have the chance to hear from our commencement speaker, renowned actor and entrepreneur Mary McCann. We hope you can join us in celebrating your graduate’s journey on this special night!<\/p>\n
