AAMU Announces the Investiture Committee

In approximately twelve weeks, on Friday, April 29th, 2022, Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University will hold the Investiture of its Twelfth President. The Investiture of a president is a time during which the University officially welcomes and formally installs its new leadership. It is also a time during which the University’s tremendous strengths, strategic partnerships and opportunities for continued growth are highlighted.

It is within that context that we announce that the following dignitaries have agreed to serve on the Investiture Committee:
