The IU Auditorium in Bloomington will be the site at 3 p.m. April 15 for the formal inauguration of IU's 17th president, Adam W. Herbert. Many IU employees, including IU Auditorium electrician and sound technician Mark Fritz, are busy preparing for the fesitivities. Read some historical notes surrounding the inaugurations of IU’s first 16 presidents and watch for a pictorial essay, as well as the text of Herbert's inaugural address, in the April 23 edition of IU Home Pages.


Activities commemorating the inauguration of IU’s President Adam W. Herbert next Thursday are being put in place on the Bloomington campus. For those unable to attend the inauguration in person, live coverage via teleconference is planned on all state-wide campuses and by real-time videostream online.
