Wells recently held the formal inauguration of Dr. Jonathan Gibralter as Wells College President. Under the leadership of Board Chair Carrie Bolton, the Inauguration Committee planned special events for October 14-15, 2016. The Inaugural theme "Simply Wells" centered around discussions of sustainability and civic engagement beginning with an academic symposium on Friday afternoon. An opportunity for a campus and community-wide service project on Saturday morning preceded the official Installation Ceremony at 1:00 p.m. The final celebration was a farm-to-table dinner at the Ryerson Commons.
Many successes and renewed efforts marked the 2015-16 year, and we were pleased to welcome the extended Wells community to join us in celebration of these successes, in recognition of President Gibralter's importance to the community, and to share in setting a foundation for the future of Wells.
