at the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, chair of inauguration committee, said the ceremony is taking place in April because of the amount of time it takes to plan and to coordinate difficult schedules.
"Kathleen Sebelius became available at the last minute, which we are very excited about," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
The speakers for the ceremony were chosen to represent different voices of the University and provide different perspectives, she said.
"It's traditional for the governor to speak," McCluskey Fawcett said. "Dr. James Moeser was chosen to speak on behalf of the Chancellor because he was the chancellor at North Carolina that chose her to be provost, so he has a very long history with her."
Tickets to the inauguration will be available Sunday in the Lied Center Lobby.
The last KU inauguration installed Robert Hemenway 14 years ago. Hemenway stepped down as chancellor in 2009. During Hemenway's time as chancellor, he made the University more student-centered and oversaw advances in life sciences research — all while continuing to teach honors English courses, according to the chancellor's web site.
