Rain Plan in Effect for 2025 Baccalaureate Service

Due to inclement weather this morning, the 2025 Baccalaureate Service will take place at Cameron Hall at VMI. Doors open at 8 a.m. for the 10 a.m. service, and a clear bag policy is in effect. 

Line-Up: Faculty will enter on the east side of the main level of Cameron Hall and continue to the lower level. Students will enter the main entrance and assemble on the lower level. Ushers will be on hand to direct graduates and faculty to their line-up locations.

Parking and Transportation: We recommend allowing ample time to arrive at Cameron Hall, as construction is underway in the area and parking is limited. VMI’s Core Physical Training Facility (CPTF) Garage, located across Diamond Street from Cameron Hall, will be available for handicap and special assistance parking. The South Institute Hill Lot, located across Main Street from Cameron Hall, will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Shuttles will be available to transport guests to and from W&L on a continuous loop from W&L parking lots, including the University Chapel Lot/Corral, the Sorority Lot, Liberty Hall, the Boneyard, the Duchossois Tennis Center, Lewis Hall (Piney Woods), Woods Creek, the Parking Garage (lower entrance on East Denny Circle), and Graham Lees.

Luncheon: The post-Baccalaureate luncheon will remain under the tents on Cannan Green unless there is thunder and lightning, in which case it will move indoors to the Marketplace.
