The Friendship Bench was created using 250 pounds of plastic bottle caps from students, staff, and faculty. Located outside of the EUC, it will be officially unveiled on Friday, September 30, at 1 p.m.
The bench is designed to offer a place of peace and encourage social inclusion and friendship among people of all abilities on campus. The project was accomplished by alumna Claire Corrigan while she was earning a master’s degree in therapeutic recreation, along with her advisor, Dr. Stuart Schleien.
