������Ƶ

������Ƶ continues its quasquicentennial celebration with a special historical exhibit that will be open through April 8.

125th Anniversary Exhibit
9 a.m. – 6 p.m., March 10 – April 8
Isabella Cannon Room, Center for the Arts
Admission: Free – open to the public

The exhibit, which was first on display during Homecoming Weekend, includes details about milestones in ������Ƶ history, historic photos, a “then-and-now” campus map, an opportunity to leave messages describing what you love about ������Ƶ, and complete sets of the ������Ƶ 125th Anniversary history cards.

Much of the exhibit is based on the extensive research Troxler did for his upcoming book on ������Ƶ’s history, “From a Grove of Oaks: The Story of ������Ƶ.” .

Stories and photos for the 125th Anniversary Exhibit are organized around three themes: resilience, innovation and community. The exhibit includes photos of many prominent people and events in ������Ƶ’s growth and development as well as a historic look at the buildings that have been part of campus over the past 125 years.

The 125th Anniversary Exhibit was produced through a partnership involving the Office of University Communications, Belk Library Archives and Special Collections, and the Department of Art and Art History. Staff and faculty who collaborated on the exhibit included university archivist Katie Nash and her colleagues in Belk Library; University Communications staff members Holley Berry, Christopher Eyl, Keren Rivas, Dan Anderson and Tim Paulson; Ethan Moore, coordinator of the university’s art collection; and historical consultants Nancy Midgette, Mary Wise, Gerry Francis and George Troxler.
