A system for an inlet guide vane shroud and baffle assembly includes a shroud. The shroud includes a first end configured to couple to an annular support member of the gas turbine engine, and a second end. The shroud also includes a distal end including an axially aft extending lip, and a seal assembly configured to form a seal with an annular set of rotating teeth on a rotor of the gas turbine engine. The shroud further includes an arcuate shroud body extending between the distal end and the second end. The shroud and baffle assembly also includes a baffle coupled to an aft side of the shroud. The baffle includes a radially outward end coupled to the aft side, a radially inward end coupled to the axially aft extending lip, and an arcuate baffle body extending there between. Both the shroud and the baffle extend circumferentially about a central axis.
