Memorial Chapel

As our alumni and friends are welcomed back to campus each year during Reunion Weekend, we take note of those in the Culver community who have passed away. The Memorial service takes place to honor these men and women of Culver through reflection and prayer with their classmates, family, and friends.

The Gold Star service is one of Culver’s long lasting traditions honoring the Culver men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. It includes a reading of the names of these brave Culver sons and daughters in the Chapel dedicated to their memory

While graduation weekend offers many opportunities for graduates and their families to remember and celebrate their time at Culver, the Baccalaureate Ceremony, which takes place in the Memorial Chapel holds a special place in the celebrations. The many cultures and traditions of our school are honored in prayer and reflection, featuring a Baccalaureate address from a member of the Culver community who has contributed in a lasting way to life at the Academy. This service is a final moment of spiritual connection for graduates before they leave campus as proud sons and daughters of the Academies.
