Commencement season at Our Lady of the Lake University was filled with pride, gratitude, and joyful celebration as we honored the remarkable achievements of the Class of 2026.
The celebration began with the Ring Blessing Ceremony, where graduates received a meaningful symbol of their academic journey and lifelong connection to OLLU. Surrounded by classmates, faculty, family, and friends, students embraced a tradition rooted in faith, community, and accomplishment.
During the Graduation Liturgy, OLLU graduates gathered for a prayer service, giving thanks for their academic journey and asking God’s blessing on their future. The liturgy marked graduation as a faith-centered rite of passage, grounding each accomplishment in OLLU’s mission of service, community, and leadership beyond the classroom. Graduates who received their master’s degrees, also participated in hooding themselves during the ceremony.
At Commencement, excitement filled the air as graduates crossed the stage, marking the culmination of years of dedication and hard work. Each moment reflected the spirit of the Saints: resilience, excellence, and unwavering support from the OLLU family. Graduates were heard giving advice to themselves as freshmen.
We proudly congratulate our graduates who now begin their professional careers and those continuing their educational journeys. Wherever their paths lead, they carry forward the values and traditions that define Our Lady of the Lake University.
