Alumni Brick FAQ
What should I put on my brick? How many characters can I include?
You are welcome to customize your engraving with any keyboard characters you like, and the special character of a heart is also available. The engraving will be in black uppercase letters. Each brick fits three lines with 14 characters per line, including spaces and punctuation. To save space and for consistency, we will use “&” rather than “and.” Personalized messages are welcomed, but all brick inscriptions are subject to approval.
If your message does not fit on three lines of 14 characters, please contact us at [email protected]. We can help you abbreviate or discuss purchasing multiple bricks.
Where will my brick be placed?
Bricks are placed in a circular design around a new ‘X’ monument in the center of the Alumni Plaza. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee brick placement. However, once installed, a map of the location of your brick will be provided. Once installed, bricks will remain for the life of the plaza.
When will my brick be installed?
The deadline for the first installation of bricks is Friday, August 16, 2024 at 5:00 p.m. MST. The unveiling of these bricks will be on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at a ribbon cutting ceremony for the Alumni Plaza. Brick orders will be ongoing until the maximum number for the area is sold. Bricks can be ordered at any time to be included in a future installation.
Can I use my company’s matching program to purchase a brick?
Yes! Company matching may be used to purchase bricks. Please check with your company to ensure this gift is eligible for corporate matching and for specific guidelines. If you intend to utilize a matching gift to purchase a brick, more time may be needed to complete your transaction.
The tax-deductible portion of a $250 brick is $200. All brick sales are used to support the construction of the Alumni Plaza.
