澳门金沙网赌娱乐庆祝安东尼·李总统就职

蒙哥马利，AL - 蒙哥马利，AL - On Friday, October 3, the 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 family joined members of our Cloverdale neighborhood and leaders from across the City of Montgomery, the State of Alabama, and the higher education community to celebrate the investiture of the 15th President of 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 Dr. Anthony Leigh.

总统授职是美国高等教育的伟大传统之一。  这是一个向一个机构的历史致敬并庆祝其领导力新篇章的机会。  这些盛大的场合为新总统美高梅官网提供了一个时间来确定他或她的优先事项，并宣布对该机构及其服务的愿景。

Dr. Leigh chose “Celebrate Huntingdon” as the theme for his investiture and he invited representatives from six key constituencies to join him in making celebratory remarks.  Speakers included Mr. Drew Harrell ’11, the Director of Legislative Affairs in the Office of Alabama Governor Kay Ivey; 尊敬的蒙哥马利市市长史蒂文·里德先生； 乔纳森·霍尔斯顿主教，联合卫理公会阿拉巴马州狭长主教区主教； Dr. Sarah Conrad Sours, Huntingdon’s Vice President for Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty; Dr. Diana Gray ’04, the President of the 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 Alumni Association; and Mr. DeJon Gibby II ’26, the President of the 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 Student Government Association.

Surrounded by his wife, Wendy, and their daughter, Carey Mae, Dr. Leigh was formally installed by The Honorable Leura Garrett Canary ’78, the chairman of the 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 Board of Trustees. 她向利博士颁发了澳门金沙网赌娱乐学院校长奖章。  As part of the ceremony, Dr. Leigh also received a new academic hood to complete his presidential regalia and it was presented by the three members of the Presidential Investiture Committee – Huntingdon trustees Emilie Reid, Jane Allen ’75, and Beverly McKinney ’70.

The Vice Chairman of the Huntingdon Board of Trustees Katrina Keefer ’95 served as the master of ceremonies.  The Rev. Dr. John Ed Mathison ’60 provided an opening invocation, and the Rev. Rhett Butler ’13 offered the closing benediction.  The 2025 Miss Huntingdon Linley McNew ’28, accompanied by the Huntingdon Wind Ensemble, sang the national anthem and the 澳门金沙网赌娱乐大学 alma mater.
