Press Clippings: Duren Hall Opening & César Chávez Statue Unveiling
Two major events on campus distinguish the fall 2007 semester.

The fall 2007 semester will be long-remembered for two outstanding events on our campus: the opening of the Almetris Duren Residence Hall and the unveiling of the César Chávez statue on the West Mall. These two events have distinguished this semester for our campus and also for the Division of Student Affairs as a leader of diversity and equal representation at the university.
Below are the electronic “press clippings” for both events.
