Langston University

A university president’s investiture is a formal ceremony marking the official installation of a new president. The investiture symbolizes the president’s acceptance of the responsibilities and authority of the office. This ceremony, held during the president’s first year, highlights an academic tradition that has been celebrated since the Middle Ages.

For Langston University, an investiture is more than a ceremony; it’s a celebration of our legacy and a warm embrace of a new era for our community. The installation of a new president at Dear Langston is a dignified event rich with academic traditions and protocols.

It features a grand academic procession with delegates from other colleges and universities and our own esteemed faculty, all adorned in the vibrant academic regalia of their institutions.

The event is complemented by musical selections and includes greetings from university members, the higher education community and government leaders, making it a truly memorable and unifying celebration.
