The Great Inauguration

In case you hadn't heard, Transy has a new president this year, Dr. R. Owen Williams. And last week, which started on Wednesday due to May Term Break, President Williams, or Owen as I hear he likes to be called and how I usually refer to him, was inaugurated into our great university.  It was a great hurray that last three days and three nights and the students got to be fairly involved.

The first night there was a barbecue with live music and entertainment.

We had walking tours through campus and had a Civil War Expert Panel

Yale professor David Blight examined the war's legacy in American popular culture, particularly in the writings of Kentuckian Robert Penn Warren.

There was a fine-arts showcase featuring individuals and student groups

Members of ImpropTU, the improv group, and Formally Known As, the accapella group, collaborated 

The President was inauguration Friday Morning on the Steps of Old Morrison

For some reason, he got a brand new mace

The ceremonies crossed into the Crimson Affair, our Homecoming Dance of Sorts where we crown Miss Transylvania and Mr. Pioneer

Seniors Holly Milburn, a basketball player, and Matt Elmore, Vocal Performance Major were crowned
