Conn celebrates 110th birthday with new outdoor performance venue and a giving challenge.
On a beautiful spring afternoon, Connecticut College celebrated its 110th birthday in style with an outdoor, socially distant and in-person event featuring live music, remarks from President Katherine Bergeron and, of course, cupcakes.
The April 5 Founders Day celebration served as the official opening of a new outdoor stage and performance venue on Tempel Green, The Dune, which is available for academic and social events this spring. The celebration also kicked off Camels Count, a 48-hour giving challenge running April 5-7 that has thus far raised more than $243,000 from over 1,200 donors.
