Each year, speakers for Baccalaureate are selected by a commitee consisting of students from the graduating class, facilitated by staff from Conference Operations and Events. Students gather suggestions from fellow class members, and choose two faculty speakers and two students from the graduating class as Baccalaureate speakers. These speakers address the graduates, their families and all attendees of the Baccaulareate event held the day before Commencement. This list continues to be compiled. If you remember your baccalaureate speaker or were a speaker yourself, please e-mail Commencement.
