Hass to be Officially Installed As Rhodes College President Jan. 13

Marjorie Hass will be installed Jan. 13 as the 20th president of Rhodes College.

The inauguration comes five months after Hass succeeded William Troutt as president of the liberal arts college and is in keeping with an academic tradition of doing the formal honors several months after a college president takes office.

Hass’s formal ceremony will be at the Bryan Campus Life Center at 9:30 a.m.

The day before on Jan. 12 at 4:30 p.m., Hass will moderate a panel of presidents of liberal arts colleges to discuss the impact such institutions can have on the life of a city and how a city can impact teaching and learning at those colleges.

The panelists are Joanne Berger-Sweeney of Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut; Elizabeth Kiss of Agnes Scott College in Decatur, Georgia; and Michael Sorrell of Paul Quinn College in Dallas, Texas.
