The address is the president's final opportunity to exhort and enlighten members of the senior class before they receive their bachelor's degrees and leave the campus as alumni/ae. In recent years, the baccalaureate has been an interfaith service, with all university chaplains organizing and participating in the service. Seniors participate in a processional in caps and gowns. Family and friends are invited to attend. Members of the senior Baccalaureate Committee and the chaplains present readings and prayers. There are also hymns and musical offerings by soloists and instrumentalists.
