Members of the University administration and peers congratulated outgoing president Abigail Adeleke on her unparalleled presidential experience and welcomed Landon Coles into the role as Student Government president at a ceremony on Tuesday.
This year’s Student Government inauguration looked somewhat more familiar than it did last year, when Abigail Adeleke and her cabinet were sworn into office virtually. Though masks and social distancing served as a reminder that the pandemic is ongoing, an in-person ceremony was carefully hosted on the Foote University Green Tuesday evening to swear in and welcome the 2021-22 executive boar

The Student Government executive board is excited to welcome students back to a campus with pandemic protocols in place, and it plans to be as available as possible for its peers.
As Abigail Adeleke overlooked the University of Miami Coral Gables Campus from the Student Government offices in the Donna E. Shalala Student Center earlier this week, a sense of pride overcame her.
The University of Miami endured a tumultuous year of surprises and hurdles: from responding to the coronavirus pandemic to implementing new health practices, to adapting to society’s new normal.
The university enrolls more than 17,000 students and employs more than 16,000 people across three campuses: the Coral Gables Campus, the Medical Campus in downtown Miami, and the Marine Campus on Virginia Key. Like many universities, UM was tasked with adapting to remote and hybrid learning environments while also striving to mitigate the spread of the virus on its campuses.
The UM community, filled with students, professors, faculty and administrators, weighed in to express their perspective on the overview of the year.
