Multifaith Baccalaureate Celebration

All students, faculty, staff and friends are invited to the 2003 Multifaith Baccalaureate Celebration on Saturday morning. Baccalaureate is a student-led celebration that acknowledges the spiritual and religious contributions to the education of Stanford graduates. The service gives the university the opportunity to express gratitude for those whose lives are dedicated to sustaining this mission--students, families, faculty, staff, administrators and trustees.

The Baccalaureate service is comprised of music and readings from a variety of religious traditions, reflecting on this important life passage.

The Baccalaureate Address will be given by Dr. Bryan Hehir, President of Catholic Charities USA and Distinguished Professor of Ethics and International Affairs at Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service. The Baccalaureate Student Address will be given by Valarie Kuar Brar, Stanford '03, International Relations and Religious Studies major. The Senior Class Presidents, Talisman, and Stanford Taiko will participate.

Graduating students should come with their caps and gowns and meet inside Memorial Church at 8:45 am so that they can be a part of the Baccalaureate procession.
