Baccalaureate is an interfaith service, reflecting the diversity of religious life at Princeton University. The service features a guest speaker and is a celebration focused especially on the members of the senior class — those receiving bachelor’s degrees. The Baccalaureate address is one of the University’s oldest traditions. Speakers at Baccalaureate are chosen for their capacity to speak on topics related to human values, broadly considered.
Storied basketball player, coach and commentator Craig Robinson will be Princeton’s 2026 Baccalaureate speaker. Robinson is the executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC), a Class of 1983 graduate and a former finance executive.
This is a ticketed event for graduating seniors and their guests.
