Gather To Reflect During The Commencement Season At Baccalaureate

Baccalaureate – held on Friday, May 23, at 11 a.m. in Armstrong Concert Hall and on Zoom – is a time to gather in community with loved ones to pause and reflect during the whirlwind that is graduation. The baccalaureate tradition comes from Christianity, but – in Shenandoah fashion – extends far beyond to include many religious, secular, and spiritual identities. The service features student leaders offering their gifts, talents, and skills to highlight moments, big and small, that made their time at SU meaningful and impactful while their community cheers them on. As those who will forever be the descendants of the stars, celebrate the opportunity to treasure the moments that will matter for life. All are invited and encouraged to attend this important Shenandoah tradition. For more information, contact DeLyn Celec at spirituallife@su.edu.
