This
year's Baccalaureate speaker will be Dr. James O'Donnell, professor

research university offering undergraduate, graduate and professional
programs on its three campuses (Almanac

Dr. O'Donnell's
scholarly focus is St. Augustine, about whom he has written a
three-volume edition, Augustine's Confessions and
is now writing What Augustine Didn't Confess.

It is an interfaith program that includes music, readings, prayers,
and the baccalaureate address. Two ceremonies are held in order
