Write your name in stone on the campus of Transylvania University.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dear Transylvania Family,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Transylvania\u2019s campus has changed substantially over the last decade.  We have renovated and constructed numerous buildings, with a new Campus Center providing outstanding gathering sites and services for our student body.  Academic, athletic and residential spaces now contain equipment and furnishings reflective of Transy\u2019s commitment to excellence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have not visited campus recently, we encourage you to come back.  When you do, one space you will not want to miss is Alumni Plaza, formerly known as Haupt Plaza. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Transylvania Alumni Board and Young Alumni Council groups spearheaded this area\u2019s transformation from a concrete pass-through into a gathering area full of welcoming seating, foliage and fellowship. Dedicated in 2015, the site holds engraved bricks and pavers featuring the names of over 400 University alumni and friends who paid for its construction. Academic sessions, events and casual groups of students all occupy the space on any given day. At night, the Plaza glows with lanterns reflecting off the leaves, making it one of the most beautiful spots on campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each year we renew the call to Pioneers to add your name in stone at our institution.  Whether you purchase a brick or a larger paver, your message becomes a part of Transy history. Your purchase will also support a scholarship initiated by Alumni Plaza proceeds, awarded annually to an incoming legacy student whose parent, grandparent or sibling has attended Transylvania. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are still a limited number of bricks and pavers available for purchase.\u200b Should you have questions after reviewing the directions below, please contact our office.  We will be happy to help you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yours in Transy Spirit,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alumni Plaza presents an exclusive opportunity for you to place your name among fellow alumni, faculty, friends and supporters \u2014 in the middle of Transylvania\u2019s busiest community square.
