What is an investiture? 

One of the oldest traditions in academia, an investiture ceremony is held during a new chancellor’s first year in office. It is an opportunity for a university to officially recognize and celebrate its new leader. The ceremony typically carries many academic traditions and protocols, including an academic procession of delegates from the hosting institution and other institutions, in which participants wear their own academic regalia. The ceremony represents a new era of leadership for the university and is an important event in the university’s history, as well as an opportunity for community celebration.
