great stories on walls in hallsIn 2006, a member of the Adams State Foundation Board, Dr. Bob Pollard ’61, noticed that Adams State was limited on the number of awards honoring alumni, faculty and friends.

Dr. Pollard recognized that many of the great stories of Adams State would never be told if we did not provide the opportunity. Great Stories on Walls in Halls was created to provide that opportunity.

The program is simple and begins with an unrestricted gift to the Adams State Foundation of at least $5,000. We will then need a professional quality 8 x 10 picture and your written story of 200 words or less.

You may provide an extended story to be included in the Great Stories on Walls in Halls book in the Adams State Foundation office. The Adams State Foundation will have the photo and story matted, and the picture will be displayed in the Student Union Building in our designated hallway.
