What is a Baccalaureate Service?

What is a Baccalaureate Service? A baccalaureate service is a ceremony to honor a graduating class within a couple of weeks before commencement. The baccalaureate is intended to provide a more intimate time of reflection for the graduating class and their families before the larger, more formal graduation ceremony. This time of reflection often includes music, a local speaker, and a small gift (like a book) for the graduates. The speaker at the baccalaureate honors the graduates and their families and encourages them to find spiritual meaning in the transition from high school into college or a career. The baccalaureate service also supplies an opportunity for the community to support the graduate and celebrate both his or her intellectual and spiritual development.
