Subject: Line-up and Procession for President Johnson’s Inauguration Ceremony
Date: September 28, 2016

The entire campus community is invited to President Paula Johnson’s Inauguration as Wellesley College’s 14th president.  The ceremony will begin at 2:00 PM on Severance Green.  Seating for those not processing opens at 1:00 PM.  Faculty, as well as other administrative members of the College who process with the faculty, should wear full academic regalia (including caps), and should line up at 1:30 PM.

As of right now, the weather forecast calls for a chance of rain.  In case of fair weather, the faculty group will line up on Jewett Road, with the head of then line at the steps leading up to the Academic Quad.  In case of rain, this line up will occur in Founders Hall.  A decision about line-up location will be made by 8:30 AM on Friday morning.

For this special event, Wellesley is hosting many returning alumnae, institutional delegates, and other guests of the College.  We hope that everyone will help extend a warm Wellesley welcome to those guests.  A note will be forthcoming to faculty members asking if you will please “adopt a delegate” to help them to feel welcome on campus and, perhaps, to share lunch with them.
