About Investiture
With regalia and protocol reaching back to traditions established by medieval institutions, investitures are among the most important ceremonies in the life of a modern university. Presidential investitures are typically held in a leader’s first year in office to publicly and formally “vest” them with the authority of the office and acknowledge, introduce, and celebrate the new leader. Investitures also represent continuity, connecting universities’ present with their past and allowing new leaders an opportunity to express their vision for the institution’s future.
