Baccalaureate Ceremony

The Baccalaureate Ceremony for the senior class is a cherished moment during Commencement Weekend, with the 60-minute program designed and delivered by WPI students, featuring musical performances, student speeches of their time while at WPI, and an inspirational guest speaker, all selected by the Senior Class Baccalaureate Program Committee. It is the last time for the senior class to be together as a class before their graduation.

Taking place on Friday, May 13 at 5:30 p.m. under the tent on the Quad, tickets are not required for this program, and all friends and family members are invited to attend.

This event will be livestreamed on Youtube.
