Historically, installation of a Vice Chancellor is an essentially significant and functionally symbolic rite of passage. In the University rich in tradition and heritage, installation is a symbolic rite of transition signifying succession at the helm of the university. It signifies that one leadership era has ended and ushers in a new one.
