A ribbon-cutting ceremony for the Donald Reichardt Center for Publishing and Literary Arts will cap the Founders’ Day event schedule at Emporia State University at 2:30 p.m. Feb. 14. The event is free to the public.
The Reichardt Center, located in Suite 407 of Plumb Hall, is a fully functional podcasting and cinematography studio for ESU students, the campus and the community. It welcomes artists, influencers, podcasters, filmmakers and creators of all sorts.
Preceding the Reichardt Center ribbon-cutting will be two important events — the annual Founders’ Day Luncheon and the Friends of Memorial Union tour and social gathering.
The luncheon will begin at noon in Memorial Union’s Webb Hall and costs $10 per person. Registration is required. Register online or to Laurie Pitman at lpitman@emporia.edu. The deadline to register is Feb. 5. Unfortunately, walk-ins cannot be accommodated for the luncheon.
The tour of the Memorial Union, which is celebrating its 100th birthday in 2025, will begin at 1:15 p.m. at the first floor’s east entrance and conclude with a social event in the Center for Student Involvement lounge.
