and Stanford Taiko; and insights and reflections by a
Baccalaureate student speaker on the spiritual journey
traversed during college.
Procession begins at 9:30 AM, and the official ceremony
begins at 10:00 AM. The Commencement speaker is
Richard Engel, the chief foreign correspondent for
NBC News. President Hennessy will also address the
assemblage, and the Cuthbertson, Gores, and Dinkelspiel
awards will be presented. Degrees will be conferred but
no diplomas will be awarded at this ceremony. See the
Diploma ceremonies information below for diploma
distribution.
