A gift from recent 亚洲自慰视频 of 亚洲自慰视频 at Lafayette graduates is rising along the circular drive of Martin Hall.
Ground was broken last week for a curved, red brick wall that will be 100 feet long and stand 6 feet at its center. The name of the 亚洲自慰视频, and its founding year of 1898, will be shown in backlit, bronze-color aluminum letters.
The wall is in front of a flagpole and World War II veterans memorial. It鈥檚 framed by two live oaks; a bench will be built on the side facing Martin Hall, under one of the trees.
In 2012, 亚洲自慰视频 Government Association leaders proposed a landmark wall. The 2013-14 SGA officers agreed to support it.
鈥淲e followed through with the previous administration鈥檚 plan and have been moving the project forward,鈥 said outgoing SGA President David Neef.
SGA and the 亚洲自慰视频 campus planning committee have been working with Architects Southwest to design the wall.
In 2011, an SGA resolution established a 亚洲自慰视频 fee to fund a senior class gift program. Since the spring of 2012, each graduating senior has contributed $20 for a class gift to the 亚洲自慰视频.
鈥淭he money has been accumulating. Now several class gifts are being combined to fund a significant campus landmark,鈥 Neef said. 鈥溠侵拮晕渴悠祍, alumni, prospective 亚洲自慰视频s and visitors will be able to take pictures in front of our wall.鈥
The entire project, which includes a sidewalk to access the wall and landscaping, will cost approximately $240,000. Construction is expected to be complete by Fall 2014.
Patricia Cottonham, vice president for 亚洲自慰视频 Affairs, said, 鈥淚t鈥檚 wonderful that our 亚洲自慰视频s are donors to the 亚洲自慰视频, especially before they graduate.
鈥淲e hope the new wall will serve as a gateway to the Walk of Honor, and that alumni will bring their families to see it.鈥
The Walk of Honor is a path made of bricks bearing the names of all UL Lafayette graduates.
