Found in the University Archive, this image from the 1990s captured students playing hacky sack outside the Colvard Student Union. Before the union’s 2006 renovation, the stairs to the union were a popular gathering place for students between classes. Building on this sense of fun and friendship, outdoor living spaces have been incorporated into campus renovations and landscaping since the mid-2000s.
