Celebrate a Day of Dedications with Us!
On June 27 Winthrop will dedicate both the new fountain and the Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center at the Stewart House. The fountain dedication will take place at 2 p.m. in Tillman Hall Auditorium before guests head out to the fountain for a champagne toast. The Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center at the Stewart House dedication will be held at 3:30 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially dedicate the center’s new location. We are very grateful to our generous fountain donors and Betty Morgan Holcombe ’56 for making these projects a reality.
