Alumni Gateway (Donated by the Class of '52)

From the Alumni Center Plaza, you can also see the Alumni Gateway that marks the main entrance to the Holtzman Alumni Center.  This is reminiscent of the gateway that stood at the original entrance to the campus on what is now Main Street, in the early 20th century.

Alumni Terrace

The engraved stones on the terrace recognize individuals who helped fund the construction of the Holtzman Alumni Center.  Gifts supporting the Center are still being accepted and there is room for additional pavers to acknowledge those gifts. 

Grand Hall

The Grand Hall with its living room style seating and warm atmosphere serves as a true home for alumni when visiting the campus, and we are excited to hear "meet me at the Alumni Center" become a common phrase.
