The whole community is invited to Castleton University's installation of Dr. Karen M. Scolforo as its tenth president of the modern era.

The installation ceremony, held in Casella Theater on campus, will feature remarks from Vermont State Colleges System Chancellor Jeb Spaulding, and Chairman of the VSCS Board of Trustees J. Churchill Hindes.

While the installation is mostly ceremonial, the historical significance of the event is an important moment in Castleton's storied history.

Castleton is Vermont's first institution of higher education and Dr. Scolforo is the fourth woman to lead the university since its founding in 1787.

"It's a moment of great historical significance, and we are excited to celebrate it with our extended community," said Jeff Weld, Castleton Dean of Advancement. "Her leadership over the past eight months has been instrumental in positioning Castleton for sustained growth and success." Following the installation, Castleton will proceed with its convocation ceremony, signifying the official start of the academic year. It will also honor its Alumni of the Year award-winner, as well as introduce new members of the faculty and staff.
