As WVU-P prepares to observe its 60th anniversary of providing educational opportunities to the Mid-Ohio Valley, the WVU at Parkersburg Foundation invites students, faculty and alumni to participate in the Memory Garden project, which links the college’s past to the future. By purchasing a brick inscribed with a student, alumni or a loved one’s name, and a personal message, the campus will carry that value with it forever.
The Memory Garden is located on the campus front lawn by the clocktower. The student, alum-ni or loved one’s name or message etched on a brick will symbolize the spirit felt when that person’s presence was on campus. Or, perhaps in honor of faculty, staff, administrators, stu-dents, alumni or others to be remembered in a lifetime garden.
