BACCALAUREATE CEREMONY

Friday, May 16, at
4:00 p.m., on the
Bentley Library Quad

Baccalaureate honors and celebrates the Class of 2008, welcoming seniors into the ranks of educated men and women. The ceremony comprises student readings and personal reflections, and addresses by a faculty member and an administrator. Families and friends are invited to join students, professors, and other members of the Bentley community for the ceremony and light reception immediately following. This is a wonderful opportunity to join graduating seniors for a less formal, more personal gathering before commencement exercises the following day.
