The Commencement Planning Team is gearing up to celebrate our incredible graduates, and we would love for you to be part of the celebration. We’re looking for a few more friendly faces to help our 2026 baccalaureate and commencement services run smoothly:

  • Baccalaureate—Saturday, May 30. Join us at the Olson Campus Center in the Chapel of the Incarnation. We need three volunteers from 1–3:30 p.m. Then, if you can, stay for the wine and cheese reception immediately following the service!
  • Commencement—Sunday, May 31. We’ll be at Central Lutheran Church in downtown Minneapolis. Volunteers report at 1:15 p.m. and will be done around 5 p.m. Help us welcome guests, hand out bulletins, and keep things looking sharp.

The perks: in addition to our eternal gratitude, we’ll keep you fueled with plentiful snacks and give you a front-row seat to the best celebration of the year. Ready to join the team? Sign up online to volunteer. Questions? Email commencement@luthersem.edu.
