Baccalaureate Instructions

Baccalaureate Service - May 8
The interfaith Baccalaureate Service is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Friday, May 8 at Old Church on Wesley Street. All faculty are encouraged to participate in this special service of song and prayers that represents the many faiths of our student body. Faculty should assemble in academic regalia outside the church no later than 4:30 p.m.

Old Church is a three minute walk down Wesley Street on the left. Go two blocks past Haygood Hall. By car, go north on Emory Street (Highway 81), turn left on Fletcher Street. Follow Fletcher Street until it intersects with Wesley Street. Old Church will be directly in front of you; police officers will direct you to parking.

Dean's Baccalaureate Dinner
Immediately following the Baccalaureate Service all graduating students and their families are invited to dinner on the College Green with members of the Oxford faculty. This is a special Oxford tradition, and it is important that as many faculty as possible attend. Make your reservations for dinner by clicking here: oxford.emory.edu/deansdinner
