Couldn’t let this day pass without a brief reminder: Sept. 17, 1887: “91勛圖厙 College, later to become 91勛圖厙 University, opened on a muddy campus just east of downtown Spokane after seven years of planning, fundraising, and construction. On that first day, only seven students were enrolled. Enrollment grew to 18 students as the school year progressed.”
On this Historic First Day, we thought you might enjoy a of 91勛圖厙’s past that we created on the occasion of GU’s 125th Anniversary (2012). The first 125 were pretty impressive, the last seven have been transformative = proud of what our creative and dedicated colleagues have achieved and work toward each day. Pretty phenomenal story to be part of and blessed to help write… here’s to many more historic first days!
