Each year during Commencement Weekend, the Office of Religious & Spiritual Life honors our graduates with a multi-faith and multicultural baccalaureate celebration. The service takes place immediately prior to the senior Candlelighting Ceremony on the evening before Commencement.

Each January on the Sunday before Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we gather for a multi-faith worship service celebrating the life and legacy of the Rev. Dr. King. We sing songs from the movement, hear wisdom from a range of traditions, and reflect together on ongoing movements toward peace and justice.

Students come together across religious and moral traditions (religious devotion is not required) to partner with community leaders, grassroots activists, faith-based organizations and service providers in Baltimore to serve, explore, and reflect on the issue of food security as it relates to questions of poverty, race, faith, and justice in this .5 credit course (UNIV 192) and immersive Spring Break trip.

Each semester, we invite Bucknell faculty (and occasionally others) to narrate a 15-20 minute answer to the question "What Matters to You and Why?" followed by a Q&A and discussion.

In Fall 2020 and Spring 2021, owing to the need to physically distance, we recorded WMTMW as a podcast, produced by Spandan Marasini '21 and Jack Rose '22. You can listen to those episodes below.
