Our main goal has been to involve students and let people know about this project. The Class of 2001 is trying to coordinate their efforts with the graduating Class of 1951, Owen said. We re hoping they will give us something to pass down to the Class of 2051, she said. We are encouraging future classes to have partnerships with the class that graduated 50 years before them. Building is set to commence on the project at the end of this summer.
People can continue to donate even after graduation.
Just because we are graduating doesn t mean people have to stop donating, the fund will remain open after we re gone, Owen said.
