Charter Day
Join the presidential inauguration.
The 2019 Charter Day Ceremony took place at 3:30 p.m. on Friday, February 8, at Kaplan Arena, and combined two important moments in the university's history.
While celebrating 326 years since the birth of William & Mary by Royal Charter, Charter Day festivities served as the official inauguration for William & Mary President Katherine A. Rowe. Rowe, who was sworn in as W&M's 28th president on July 2, spoke at the event, along with Robert M. Gates ’65, L.H.D. '98. The ceremony also included the re-investiture of Gates as Chancellor of the university.
