Inauguration of Dr. Mary Bonderoff, 11th president of SUNY Delhi

It is a longstanding tradition for colleges and universities to host formal inauguration events to mark transitions in presidential leadership at an institution.

The ceremony will feature an academic procession with special guests dressed in the academic regalia from a number of colleges and universities, SUNY System, and the SUNY Chancellor and SUNY Board of Trustees.

The college community is invited to join for a series of events in the days and weeks leading up to the inauguration ceremony!
