History of Presidential Inaugurations
The inauguration of a university president is a long-standing tradition in academia. As Point Park University inaugurates its 9th president, we join in this enduring custom.
Presidential inaugurations typically take place months after the president begins their role in office, yet still represent a type of beginning, as the new president is welcomed by members of the university community and shares their vision for the years to come.
The inauguration service includes a formal academic procession, remarks from community and university leaders, and a keynote address.
The inauguration ceremony for Chris W. Brussalis was held on September 20, 2024 in the PNC Theatre in the Pittsburgh Playhouse, kicking off Homecoming Weekend.
