REVITALIZING WINTHROP


PROJECT by PROJECT


Quaint and colorful seating and gathering areas, vibrant street banners, eye-popping window clings and freshly manicured outdoor spaces have been added over the spring and summer months, infusing a boost of Eagle pride and beauty into campus.


These latest projects, most of which were funded by private gifts to the Campus Beautification Initiative – Revitalizing Winthrop – reflect the dedicated effort to keep Winthrop beautiful, ac- cessible and attractive for prospective students and their families, current students, faculty, staff and community members.


“The projects completed through the Campus Beautification Initiative have enhanced the over- all look of campus and made a positive and dra- matic impact on our ‘curb appeal’ as we welcome prospective students and their families each day,” said James Grigg, associate vice president for facilities management. “We are grateful to the generous donors who have enthusiastically given to this important initiative.”


Since debuting in 2021, the Campus Beautifica- tion Initiative – Revitalizing Winthrop – has pro- vided the opportunity and resources to respect

the university’s history by contributing energy, vision and engagement to the campus’ physical surroundings.


Faculty, staff, students and alumni have come together to plant shrubs, spread mulch and con- tribute time and “sweat equity” to various proj- ects around campus. Members of the Rock Hill and Charlotte alumni chapters recently were on campus to spruce up the area around McLaurin Hall. View the completed projects to date.


In total, more than 90 people have pledged a year of service or have volunteered time to the Campus Beautification Initiative.
