Founders' Day, 2008

Feb. 15, 2008                                                Back to the alumni news and events page

Our 145th anniversary of ESU's founding was celebrated Feb. 15 with the annual Founders' Day luncheon, featuring three generations of the late John Breukelman's family. Bruekelman was a biology professor at ESU from 1929 to 1968. At the luncheon, members of the Lyman B. Kellogg Society - those who've included ESU in their estate plans - are recognized. Long-time ESU employees Jeanne Just and Dr. Tom Eddy cut ESU's birthday cake.
