New and returning students are being welcomed to The Bluff with a historical display of new school year traditions from the 1950s, 60s, and 70s, created by the University Museum in the display case near the computer stations in the Pilot House. Campus community members are also invited to view pictorial displays of the Peace Garden, Galati Memorial, Victory Bell, and Rigley Field. If you’ve wanted to know how and why we have some of these special campus landmarks and locations, you can learn more about them in the three display cases located in Buckley Center Auditorium Foyer.
The University Museum is located in the basement of Shipstad Hall, room 014, and is open Monday and Tuesday, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.; Wednesday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; and also by appointment. All are welcome to visit. Contact Carolyn Connolly, museum coordinator, at 8038 or piatz@up.edu for more information.
