Almost 1,000 bricks have been sold for the new Reflection
Plaza that will surround the Flame of the Millennium sculpture on the front lawn
of campus. The project had raised $285,000 as of early March. Construction on
the plaza will begin this summer. The plaza allows alumni, students, parents, faculty, staff
and friends of Rose-Hulman to leave a legacy through purchase of three different
sizes of bricks. “The Reflection Plaza has proven very popular with many
people purchasing bricks in memory or honor of others,” said Karen O’Rourke,
director of annual giving and coordinator of the brick purchases. “The most touching purchases have come from alumni who are
honoring their parents for the sacrifices they made to enable their children to
attend Rose-Hulman,” O’Rourke said. Although the first round of brick sales is closing, people
can still participate in the program because the plaza is being set up to allow
for further brick installations at later dates. Three sizes of bricks available for purchase are: 4x8
inches for $150, 8x8 for $500 and 12x12 for $1,000. For more information, contact O’Rourke in the Office of
Annual Giving at 800-248-7448, ext. 8159, or via e-mail at
