GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- Michael Le Roy has been sworn in as president of Calvin College in Grand Rapids.

Le Roy's inauguration Saturday capped many days of events at the private liberal arts college, which is affiliated with the Christian Reformed Church. He arrived in July after serving as provost at Whitworth University in Spokane, Wash.

Calvin College has celebrated the week with a music festival, an art exhibition and worship services. Le Roy even joined dozens of students outdoors dancing to the "Cupid Shuffle."
