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.

President Kevin Guskiewicz

Our President

Kevin M. Guskiewicz, Ph.D., is a neuroscientist and academic leader who assumed the presidency of Michigan State University on March 4, 2024. Following his arrival at MSU, President Guskiewicz embarked on a 52-plus-stop listening and learning tour of the university’s colleges and administrative units to help identify an institutional “true north” that will lead MSU to provide the best education and workplace culture for Spartans and bold service to the public in the land-grant tradition.
