The inauguration of Jenifer K. Ward as the 11th Luther College President will be held at 11:00 a.m. Saturday in the Main Hall of the Center for Faith and Life.

The theme of the inauguration ceremony is "Always Becoming." It is open to the public with no charge for admission.

Luther's Board of Regents Chair Wendy Davidson says. "I'm especially excited as this particular inauguration has been crafted carefully in partnership with Dr. Ward, which will make it both timeless and personal. She has a wonderfully warm personality and the weekend promises to celebrate where we've been and what we are becoming."

Presidential Search Committee Chair J. Robert Paulson says, "President Ward is actively and visibly building bridges and relationships between the college and the Decorah community, as well as between the college and the broader Luther communities."

Delegates from 40 institutions of higher education will be honoring President Ward and displaying their support by taking part in the formal procession as are ten Decorah community representatives, two dozen current and former regents, two former Luther presidents and three former interim presidents.
