Vermont Business Magazine Saint Michael’s College will hold an Inauguration ceremony for its 18th President Richard Plumb, Ph.D., on Oct. 26, 2024.
Plumb, who has served as the College’s president since January, plans to outline his plans to lead Saint Michael’s College into the future during his Inauguration address.
The ceremony will take place in the McCarthy Arts Center Recital Hall beginning at 3 p.m. Delegates from across the College and the state of Vermont will be in attendance and will offer remarks during the ceremony.
During his address, Plumb plans to outline what drew him to the College and how he hopes to build on the solid foundation he has found at Saint Michael's.
“Saint Michael’s embodies the kind of transformative education that shapes not only careers but lives,” Plumb said. “As we move forward, I am inspired by our unwavering commitment to intellectual curiosity, ethical leadership, and service to others. This community is more than a campus—it is a beacon of hope, where dreams take root and grow.”
Inauguration weekend at Saint Michael’s will also feature an opera recital on Friday, Oct. 25 given by Plumb’s son, Sean Michael Plumb, along with other guest performers. Sean Michael Plumb has performed internationally and is an award-winning baritone – including being honored by President Barack Obama as a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
