This traditional event offers both reflection for, and a farewell to, the graduating class. The service includes comments from the class's 1819 Award recipient and the recipient of the Jerome Balmuth Award for Teaching and Student Engagement. Graduating seniors offer readings from diverse religious and humanist traditions and present musical and dance selections.

The graduates will line up for the procession at 3 p.m. and will be seated in the chapel.

This event draws many more people than the chapel can hold. Guest seating is limited; doors open at 2:30. Guests may also watch at colgate.edu/commencement or at one of these viewing locations:

• Lawrence Hall, 105 Ho Lecture Room 
• Olin Hall, Love Auditorium
