Fredonia’s Scholarship Walkway, located by the Williams Center (formerly the Campus Center) now boasts over 200 personalized bricks purchased by alumni and friends of Fredonia. Installed in the summer of 2016, the Scholarship Walkway supports Alumni Scholarships to continue the tradition of success at Fredonia. With inscriptions such as “May your knowledge be your guide to your future”, “My career snow/clouds started here” and “In memory of Rose Elizabeth Praetorius Our ‘Liz,’” bricks have been used to commemorate special occasions such as an anniversary, graduation or retirement, tell the love story of couples who met on campus, memorialize loved ones or even capture an inside joke or special memory between friends. Regardless of the inscription, each brick marks a place in Fredonia’s past and leaves a visible legacy for those Fredonians to come. Scholarship walkway bricks are available for purchase year-round with installation each summer prior to Homecoming. Leave your mark at Fredonia by purchasing a Scholarship Walkway brick today by visiting www.fredonia.edu/brick.
