A celebration 75 years in the making
Seventy-five years ago, a group of trailblazing leaders had a bold vision to transform an evening college center with just 278 students into a thriving research university of more than 30,000 students.
As part of Niner Nation, you are invited to commemorate our University’s 75th anniversary on Thursday, Sept. 23 with a series of activities including a drop-in celebration, a community service event, and a virtual conversation with Chancellor Sharon L. Gaber.
