UT Southern held a formal investiture ceremony this week to recognize Dr. Melinda S. Arnold as chancellor, the Pulaski Citizen reported. The broadcast said Arnold officially assumed the role in July 2025 and that University of Tennessee System President Randy Boyd symbolically presented her with the authority of the office.

The segment described a gathering of faculty, students and community leaders to celebrate Arnold’s leadership and vision for the university. The program did not include direct quotes from Arnold or Boyd on-air; the wrap presented the event as a community recognition rather than a policy announcement.

The investiture marks a ceremonial milestone for UT Southern following Arnold’s assumption of the chancellor role in mid-2025, according to the on-air summary.
