In the morning, Dr. Aldridge was formally installed as UMUC president by University System of Maryland Chancellor William E. Kirwan, joined by delegates and guests from across the state and nation. A lunch reception immediately followed the ceremony.
Later that evening, a Black-tie Inaugural Gala featured fine dining, live music, and dancing as guests celebrated this
historic event. Proceeds went to support the UMUC Anniversary Scholarship Fund.
Colleagues and friends who were not able to attend the inauguration may view the ceremony and video tribute by archived Webcast. You may also view the online inaugural art exhibit, Carl Berman: Cultural Explorer, or experience these expressive paintings up close in the Lower Gallery of the UMUC Inn and Conference Center (ICC) until March 12, 2007.
On behalf of everyone involved with the Inauguration and Gala, we thank you for your hearty support and enthusiastic welcoming of President Aldridge.
