Because there will be a larger than usual number of guests inside the chapel, and with the presence of Governor Moore and his security team, Valley Forge has modified its security policy for the 2026 Commencement Ceremony.
We will be following the guidelines utilized by most major stadiums in the United States, and limiting the size and style of bags that will be permitted into our Chapel and on campus events for Friday, May 8th, and Saturday, May 9th. With this in mind, we ask you to PLEASE limit the number of items you bring into the Chapel. All bags will be subject to a screening or search if deemed necessary by the Valley Forge Security Team and Staff Members.
