Last week we welcomed the Department of Energy’s new Deputy Secretary, Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall. On Friday, Energy Department employees got a visit from Vice President Joe Biden, who administered a ceremonial oath of office to Dr. Sherwood-Randall in the Forrestal Auditorium at Energy Department headquarters.

Check out photos from Deputy Secretary Sherwood-Randall’s swearing-in ceremony in the photo gallery above. Watch a video of the ceremony on the Energy Department’s YouTube channel.
