What is Investiture?
Investiture is one of higher education’s oldest traditions, marking both continuity and renewal. At UNT Dallas, it signifies a pivotal moment — welcoming new leadership while honoring the university’s history and mission.
The ceremony brings together regents, faculty, staff, students, alumni, and guests in academic regalia, accompanied by music, the presentation of the presidential medallion, and the formal investiture. The event culminates in the new president’s inaugural address.
Together, these traditions mark the beginning of a new chapter for UNT Dallas and its community.
