*Baccalaureate is a touching Cornell tradition which includes a brief sermon by the College Chaplain, Catherine Quehl-Engel, and the words of gratitude submitted by dozens of graduating seniors and read aloud by their classmates.  Attendance by seniors is not required but encouraged.  Family members should arrive early as King Chapel typically fills for this event.
