Maurie McInnis was installed Sunday as Yale University’s 24th president — a role she officially assumed in July — during a tradition-filled ceremony in Woolsey Hall. It was the first inauguration of a new president for the university in more than a decade.
The ceremony capped a week of events on campus and across New Haven that brought together community members to celebrate the university’s newest chapter through service opportunities, open houses, academic symposia, and a presidential panel.
