HFW 2010, by alumna Deborah Raiken

For the past year, a group of faculty, students and staff have been working to create a Union College time capsule for the new Peter Wold Center for Science and Engineering. One segment will be opened at a special 2062 ReUnion 50 years after the capsule’s dedication in 2012; the other will be unveiled 100 years after the dedication. 

“We know where it will go and what it will look like; all we need is the stuff inside,” says Lexie Crosby ’12.

She and other members of the Time Capsule Committee are asking members of the Union community to make their mark on history. The committee is handing out special archival paper designed to stand the test of time “so you can write a letter to your future self.”

Photographers may also submit photos to the capsule. Photos should have a resolution of 3264×2448, 8 megapixels (most digital cameras meet this requirement), and can be submitted electronically to uniontimecapsule@gmail.com. Other questions? Contact Crosby at crosbya@union.edu.
