WNMU maintenance official Bill Burns make room for a Legacy Brick.Silver City, NM – The first round of Legacy Bricks have been installed on the Western New Mexico University campus, and the school invites those visiting for Homecoming 2017 to wander among the bricks.

Commemorating alumni, loved ones and friends, Legacy Bricks are sold through the University Foundation and placed in the school's most scenic spots. These first Legacy Bricks are located in The Gardens, adjacent to Light Hall.

Whether Legacy Bricks contain loved ones' names, special dates, or words about favorite memories, each leaves a lasting testament on campus.

"We're excited that anyone who has an important memory or accomplishment at WNMU has the opportunity to leave their legacy on a brick that will be a part of the landscape of our future," University Foundation Executive Director Jodi Edens-Crocker said.

Bricks can contain one line of information for $100 or two lines for $125 of up to ten spaces per line.

"Salute the past, capture the present, and pave the future for our students and community," Edens-Crocker said.

To purchase a Legacy Brick, visit foundation.wnmu.edu or contact the University Foundation at 575-538-6310 or foundation@wnmu.edu.
