For each incoming Rice president, an Inaugural
Committee is formed which works with the Board of Governors and the
President's Office to plan the numerous presidential welcoming events and
celebrations. After the inauguration, the committee is released from duty.
David W. Leebron took office as Rice University’s seventh president on July 1,
2004. On Saturday, October 2, 2004, he was officially inaugurated into that
post. Due to inclement weather conditions and heat and humidity, the inaugural
proceedings were held at 9:30 a.m. in the Rice Gymnasium, Autry Court. The
inaugural dinner was held at the Warwick Hotel. The Rice Concert Band, the Rice
Chorale, the Shepherd School Brass Ensemble, and Melody Johnson, a Shepherd
School soprano, provided the music for the occasion. Arthur Gottschalk, chair
of composition and theory with the Shepherd School of Music, composed a special
fanfare for the inauguration ceremony. More than 200 delegates representing
universities and learned societies from around the world attended the
inauguration, as did such distinguished guests as the consuls of Jordan,
Ukraine, and Saudi Arabia; Ambassador Edward Djerejian; and Congresswoman
Sheila Jackson Lee.
David Leebron was born in 1956 in
Philadelphia. He earned a bachelor of art’s degree (1976) and doctorate of
jurisprudence (1979) from Harvard University. After college Leebron clerked at
the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and taught at the UCLA School of Law and New
York University. From 1981 to 1983, he practiced privately with the New York
law firm of Cleary, Gottlieb, Steen & Hamilton. In 1989 Leebron joined the
faculty of the Columbia Law School. He later became the Lucy G. Moses Professor
of Law and dean of the law school, a position he remained in until his
selection as Rice’s president. Leebron is married to Y. Ping Sun. They have two
children.
