The inauguration of a new president provides us with a very special opportunity. Investitures are long-established traditions in academia and serve not only as a formal induction into office but also as an opportunity to introduce a new era and to celebrate as a community.

On the occasion of the investiture of Dr. Betsy V. Boze we not only celebrate this milestone in College leadership, but we also take this opportunity, to open up our College to the wider Bahamian community and to showcase the very best that we have to offer.

Our celebratory activities are listed below:
