For only the 15th time, in the 159 years that Kansas State University has been in existence, a new president was inaugurated on Friday afternoon.

Exactly 9 months to the day of the announcement of his hiring, Kansas State University held an inauguration ceremony for it's newest president, Dr. Richard H. Linton.

Linton arrived at K-State in the spring 2022 semester, taking over the role of president following the retirement of former president Richard Myers.

Members of the Kansas Board of Regents, Deans of the Colleges at Kansas State University and other University leaders were in attendance of the inauguration ceremony.

President Linton says he hopes the University and community work to 'create hope and joy, together.'
