Baccalaureate Ceremony
Baccalaureate Ceremony
The Baccalaureate Ceremony is planned and performed by members of the Senior Class, and offers a quieter, more intimate opportunity to pause and reflect on this important life event. The program includes a special guest speaker (selected by the Baccalaureate Committee), fellow seniors sharing their reflections of their experience during their time at WPI, and students' musical and dance talents. As this is a wonderful event celebrating our student's achievements, all WPI graduating students and their parents and guests, whether undergraduate or graduate, are expected to attend.
