It all comes full circle.
Admission Dean Fred Hargadon was chosen as the Baccalaureate speaker for the Class of 2003, senior class president Catherine Farmer announced in a class-wide email last night.
"He knew our class very well and we all thought that would allow him to bring us a message someone from the outside wouldn't be able to give to us," Farmer said.
President Tilghman made the final decision after receiving a list of three names from a committee including associate secretary of the University Ann Halliday, English professor John Fleming, Dean of Religious Life Thomas Breidenthal and Vice President of Public Affairs Bob Durkee '69, said Farmer.
Past Baccalaureate speakers have included Meg Whitman '77, radio personality Garrison Keillor, and Queen Noor of Jordan — formerly Lisa Halaby '73.
Baccalaureate will be held on Sunday, June 1, 2003, as the first of the official Commencement activities. Seniors receive two tickets to the service, which is not open to the public.
