For pomp and circumstance, there are few events that rival the investiture of a college president.
Nick Bruno was officially invested last Sunday, Oct 2 in the Brown Auditorium, which was filled with ceremonial decor and well-dressed supporters who came to witness the event.
“Investiture” is derived from a Latin phrase meaning “to dress in robe.”
ULM faculty members dressed in academic robes bearing regalia and insignias from their colleges and academic degrees.
Winfred Sibille, chair of the UL System Board of Supervisors, expressed confidence that President Bruno is the best man for the job.
“I belive in this, we have chosen well,” said Sibille.
Other speakers during the ceremony include Robert Levy, chair of the Louisiana Board of Regents, state Senator Mike Walsworth, Monroe Mayor Jamie Mayo and many others.
