Speeches

It was a morning of celebration, starting with a processional march with staff, faculty and visiting dignitaries. Once in the Gates Concert Hall of the Newman Center for the Performing Arts, the speeches began. From Star Trek references to dreams for DU’s future, from mathematician jokes to personal reflections about Chancellor Haefner’s achievements both during the Installation event and at the informal campus reception that followed, you can relive each speech here.
