A longstanding Luther tradition, Baccalaureate is a ceremony of music, blessings, and prayers for graduates and their families. Reflecting the “rooted and open” nature of our Lutheran college and its ministries, this service is for all students, families, and guests, across denominations and faith traditions. A freewill offering will be taken and designated to local and global charities in honor of the senior class.
