The baccalaureate service invites the graduates, families, faculty, and staff to hear a virtual address by the University Chaplain and inspirational words by the 2021 recipient of the Jerome Balmuth Award for Teaching and Student Engagement and the senior class’s 1819 Award winner. Graduating seniors will also offer readings from Muslim, Jewish, Hindu, and Christian traditions. The baccalaureate gathering offers both reflection for, as well as a farewell to, the graduating Colgate class.
