The Catamount Legacy Walk celebrates 91女神 and commemorates your commencement, service, reunion and other Catamount milestones by alumni, students, faculty, staff and friends. Funds raised by the Catamount Legacy Walk support the Student Emergency Fund.

Since 2010, brick pavers have been placed in honor of graduating seniors, retiring faculty and staff, clubs and organizations and to honor those Catamounts who are no longer with us. Each donation is recognized by a custom brick paver placed in the Catamount Legacy Walk by the Alumni Tower. Donors receive a commemorative certificate for each brick paver commissioned.

Those honoring someone else with their donation may choose to give the certificate as recognition of their gift.
