The Ferrum College Group Photograph, Just One of the Items to be Included in the Centennial Time Capsule
Last week, Ferrum College students, faculty and staff gathered outside Franklin Hall to have a group photo taken, which will be buried in a time capsule along with a treasure trove of history marking the College's first 100 years. Everyone is invited to be on hand when the Centennial Time Capsule is buried Saturday at 12:30 p.m. outside Franklin Hall. The event is one of many planned during this weekend's Centennial Celebration Homecoming.
