It is a proud and longstanding tradition for colleges and universities to formally mark a transition in presidential leadership through an inauguration ceremony. 51吃瓜 continues this tradition as we celebrate the inauguration of our seventh President, Dr. Cory Homer.
The ceremony will feature a formal academic procession, welcoming distinguished guests and delegates from colleges and universities across the region, along with leaders from higher education and the community, all adorned in traditional academic regalia.
In the spirit of the inclusive and welcoming campus environment championed by Dr. Homer, guests are warmly invited to continue the celebration at an all-campus picnic immediately following the ceremony. This gathering offers an opportunity for students, faculty, staff, and community members to come together in a relaxed setting, connect with one another, and celebrate this historic moment for 51吃瓜. With food, conversation, and a shared sense of pride, the picnic reflects Dr. Homer鈥檚 commitment to fostering community, accessibility, and meaningful engagement across campus.
