The one before that took place in 1994. It\u0026rsquo;s safe to say most college students don\u0026rsquo;t get to take part in this kind of historic moment in the life of an institution. But the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/president.gatech.edu\/cabrera-investiture\u0022\u003EInvestiture for Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s 12 president\u003C\/a\u003E, \u0026Aacute;ngel Cabrera, will take place next week, and the entire campus community is invited.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe event will be part formal, part celebratory, and will incorporate Tech traditions with notable names from on and off campus. The Glee Club and Treble Choir will both deliver musical performances, and Tech\u0026rsquo;s National Pan-Hellenic Council will perform a step show. Campus speakers including college deans and student leaders will address attendees, as will U.S. Rep. John Lewis, the congressman from Georgia\u0026rsquo;s fifth district, which includes Georgia Tech.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe ceremony will take place Monday, Oct. 28, at 10:30 a.m. at the Ferst Center for the Arts. It will be followed by a campuswide celebration on Tech Green beginning at noon.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe ceremony is free to attend, but a general admission ticket is required. \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/gatech.universitytickets.com\/w\/event.aspx?id=1562\u0026amp;p=1\u0022\u003ETickets can be reserved online\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EFor President Cabrera, the event is an official \u0026ldquo;welcome home\u0026rdquo; of sorts for the Georgia Tech graduate \u0026ndash; which also makes it a fitting kickoff to Tech\u0026rsquo;s Homecoming week. Cabrera earned his master\u0026rsquo;s and Ph.D. in cognitive psychology from Georgia Tech, which he attended as a Fulbright scholar.
