Baccalaureate Service

Date: Saturday, December 19, 2009
Time: 10:30 a.m.
Place: Chapel of the Abiding Presence
 
Report to the Blumberg Library portico by 10:10 a.m. to line up for the processional to the chapel (in case of inclement weather, line up in the Alumni Student Center Graf Lounge). Wear your gown, but not your cap. Also, do not wear any honor cords or medals that you may receive from an honor society or other organization. These are not worn until the commencement ceremony that evening. The head marshal will be present to assist with the line-up. The program participants will go first, followed by the faculty, then the graduates. The crucifer will lead the processional into the chapel. The head marshal will direct program participants and faculty to their seats. The graduates will be led by an assistant marshal and directed to their seats. Remain standing in place until the signal to be seated.

For the recessional, the crucifer will retrieve the cross from its stand and lead the way out. The graduates, faculty, and program participants will follow. Again, the marshals will be leading everyone out, so simply follow their direction.
