The dedication of Founders’ Plaza was held October 2 during Homecoming Weekend. Located in front of Slocum Hall, Founders’ Plaza honors OWU alumni and friends who have donated $1 million, $5 million, $10 million, or more to the University. These donors are recognized on bronze plaques mounted on the brick walls of the plaza area. Associate Founders’ members donating between $500,000 and $999,999 also were recognized at the event.
