‘I love MSUM’
President Edna Szymanksi took office in July, but officially became MSUM’s first female president Friday at her inauguration.
An estimated 400 people, including faculty, former presidents Roland Dille and Roland Barden, and guests from other universities and the community, filled Hansen Theatre for the ceremony.
“This is one of the most touching and moving moments of my life,” Szymanski said as she took stage.
“I love MSUM. I accept this awesome responsibility,” she said.
Featured speaker Erma Vizenor, chair of the White Earth Tribal Council and MSUM alumna, thanked Szymanski for the work she’s already accomplished in her seven months on campus.
