 Morrow,
Ga., May 1, 2006 – A number of Clayton State alumni and
friends had their names etched in stone … or more like
brick, and placed in the heart of the CSU campus.
The Clayton State Alumni Association and the Department of
Alumni Relations on Thursday unveiled its “Legacy Court”
Commemorative Brick Campaign with the first set of bricks
placed.
“We are so
happy and proud about having the bricks placed,” said
Clayton State Alumni Association president Dina Swearngin.
“It took us a little longer than expected to get the first
set in the ground but now that we have the first ones in
place and everyone can see them, we expect the program to
take off.”
The initial placement of 80 bricks encircle the replica of
the Bent Tree that is located at the south entrance of the
James M. Baker University Center, near the Administration
Building, which is now appropriately called “Legacy Court.”
The bricks are cinnamon in color and match the University
Center.
The Alumni Association has already sold more than 30 bricks
for its next placement and hopes to sell enough bricks in
the coming months to have another set placed in the fall.
The timing is perfect with spring graduation next week,
allowing the Association an opportunity to show upcoming
graduates.
Swearngin
says, the brick campaign was introduced by the Alumni
Association to show support for the rapidly growing
University and to make a lasting contribution to the
beautiful Morrow campus.
She also
adds that purchasing a brick is an excellent way to honor a
friend, parent, child, favorite professor or anyone
deserving that permanent mark of distinction on the Clayton
State campus.
The Alumni Association will
accept orders for a commemorative brick on an on-going
basis. They are available for personalization with name,
degree and year for only $50 or, may be placed in honor of
someone that supported you while at the university. Proceeds
will benefit the Clayton State University Alumni Association
For more information, please

Additional information and order forms are also available
via the Clayton State Alumni Relations website.
