What is an Investiture?
Put simply, an investiture is "the act of establishing in office or ratifying."1 These formal ceremonies mark the official installation of a leader within a particular position—most often one of great importance and responsibility. Contemporary examples include the investiture of U.S. Supreme Court Justices, elected officials and, yes, college and university presidents.
