The ceremony included musical performances from Brightnie Jones and Marquis Wignal, accompanied by Sariva Goetz.

David Swope, Chairman, Board of Trustees, Westchester County Executive Rob Astorino, Dr. Christine McPhail and SUNY Chancellor Dr. Nancy Zimpher were a few of the speakers.

Miles is the school's first new president in more than 40 years, and is only the third president of the college in 62 years. 

While she took over as president in January, the school's custom is to wait for a full semester before holding the inauguration ceremony.
