Around the O has more here:
In his investiture speech Schill is expected to challenge the audience and university community to help him debunk some of the persistent myths that hamper both the UO and all public research universities.
The ceremony will include remarks by Block and UO senior Stefani Aleman, a biology and psychology major, as well as music from a cappella groups Divisi and On the Rocks and the UO Brass Ensemble.
Chuck Lillis, chair of the Board of Trustees of the University of Oregon, will conduct the formal installation, placing the medallion around Schill’s neck and presenting him with the mace.
“Investiture is an important tradition in the life of the academy,” Lillis said. “We will be celebrating our president’s successful first year as much as formally installing him into the position. This will also be an opportunity for Mike to reflect on his aspirations for the future of this great institution.”
A reception follows at 3:30 p.m. in the Giustina Ballroom and Barker Courtyard at the Ford Alumni Center.
