Baccalaureate Celebration

Held the day before Commencement each year, the Baccalaureate service is a multifaith, spiritual gathering for graduating seniors to celebrate their journey through Wellesley College. The program includes student reflections, music, singing and lots of shared memories. Inspired by Wellesley's historic belief that educations is a spiritual as well as an intellectual journey, Baccalaureate celebrates and affirms the diversity of religious and cultural identities of our students as a part of the student experience.

The procession will form at 1:40 pm on the path between Founders Hall and the Margaret Clapp Library if the weather is fair, or under the tent on Severance Green if rain. As seating is limited in the Chapel, additional seating for families will be available in Collins Cinema where we will simulcast the program. The program is videotaped and will also be available for viewing after the event.
