Graduates, we wish you all great success as you start your next chapter!
Multifaith Baccalaureate Ceremony
One of the joys of Commencement is the Hamline Multifaith Baccalaureate service, which expresses gratitude and blessing for the graduating seniors, their families and friends, and Hamline faculty and staff. Graduating seniors from diverse religious and spiritual identities participate as readers and speakers, along with President Murray, the Board of Trustees, Minnesota Annual Conference United Methodist Church representatives, and a special speaker from Hamline staff or faculty.
This year, the service was held in the Anderson Center Forum on Friday, May 10, at 4 p.m., with a post-service reception of appetizers and refreshments. This was a great opportunity for graduates to take photos in their caps and gowns with family and friends.
