The Baccalaureate ceremony will be Friday, May 1st, 2026 at 3 p.m in Shattuck Music Center. It is a worship service just before graduation to celebrate this special occasion. For faculty and staff, it is a time to bless and pray for our students and their futures beyond Carroll. For our graduating students, it is a time of reflection and giving thanks for their journey at Carroll, and offering prayers for their future as this chapter comes to a close.
This service draws on Carroll University’s Christian tradition and Presbyterian heritage, as well as the diverse religious and cultural traditions of our graduates. Members of the Class of 2026 are the primary speakers and have assisted in selecting prayers and readings from their own religious backgrounds.
Graduates, their families and all members of the Carroll community are invited to participate in ways that best honor their own faith traditions and spiritual practices.
All are welcome.
