Bay Pathway Spring/Summer 2022
8
Inaugurate
Congratulate
Celebrate
History was made on April 8, 2022, as Bay Path
celebrated the inauguration of Sandra J. Doran, J.D.,
the sixth president of Bay Path Universit
y.
The event was unlike any other Bay Path inauguration, taking place many months after President
Doran began her tenure at the University in July of 2020. Delayed by the global pandemic, it was
all the more special as the Bay Path community, friends, and family were finally able to gather to be
part of this memorable moment in time.
President Doran's official inauguration took place in Springfield Symphony Hall, only a block away
from the corner of State and Dwight streets, where Bay Path Institute first opened its doors
to students. The historical significance was incredibly profound, as in 2022 Bay Path University
celebrates its 125th anniversary.
As the inauguration acknowledged the past and traditions, it was also a testament to the enduring
legacy of Bay Path, while looking to the future under President Doran. Our University motto
captured the spirit of the day: Carpe Diem. And in the words of President Doran: "Carpe Futurum."
