Baccalaureate service
A baccalaureate service is an American event which features a speech or series of speeches given to a graduating senior class from a college or high school. The speeches are often, but not necessarily, of a religious nature, almost invariably Christian. The service is held within a few days of the graduation ceremony, often on the Sunday or Wednesday night immediately preceding graduation. At some colleges and universities they are held directly before the graduation. Speakers selected to give speeches tend to be respected community leaders, faculty members (often selected by the graduating class), students, or local religious leaders. These speeches are often intermixed with musical performances, drama, and worship. Baccalaureate addresses can range in length from under half an hour to as long as four hours.
