The President's Letter to Parents
A letter from President Brodhead was mailed in December to parents, guardians, or family members inviting them to attend the events of Graduation Weekend. The letter informs parents that it will be your responsibility to obtain the tickets for the Baccalaureate Service, which is the only event of the Weekend that will require tickets.
