The investiture of Northern Michigan University President Dr. Brock Tessman will provide an opportunity to celebrate as a community and welcome a new era under new leadership. 

The investiture of a university president – formally investing him or her with honors or rank – is an enduring tradition in academia. An investiture ceremony typically is held during or at the conclusion of the president’s first year in office.

The Investiture Ceremony will take place at 2 p.m. on Friday, September 29, at the Forest Roberts Theatre.

The ceremony is open to the public and no ticket is needed to attend.
