When Rowe started at Centenary in August, he had to hit the ground running. School was starting. The economy was playing jumping jacks with the endowment. And the dean of students suddenly passed away.
So time for an official ceremony was a bit strained.
April 8, at 2 p.m.at the Gold Dome, Rowe will have his ceremony, definitely a perk of being a president.
A college presidential inauguration or investiture, in case you've never been, is grand event. There are usually a week's worth of events including receptions with alumni, a dinner or two, and the actual ceremony. The big ceremony includes faculty dresses in the academic robes, a speech from the board of regents representative, and a speech and/or battle cry from the person of the hour.
However, the festivities for Rowe are reflective of the campus' hard economic times. The event will be one day with a concert and a reception in addition to the ceremony.
