¾«¶«Ó°Òµ

During the year-long celebration various activities were planned to create campuswide excitement and engagement. These included:

"Where is This at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ University?"

While ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ University celebrated its centennial, the buildings, structures and landscapes that comprise its eight campuses continued to change and expand. So a "Where is This at ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ University?" challenge was launched for the university community. Participants identified the location and the ¾«¶«Ó°Òµ campus captured in the photograph via the university's faculty/staff e-newsletter. To the right is one example from October 5, 2010.
