Celebrate Shepherd's 150th Birthday by Honoring Famous Rams!
This term's display, titled "Applied Learning: Famous Former Rams" is a continued celebration of Shepherd University's one hundred-fiftieth birthday. The display is set as a timeline of former Shepherd Rams, usually by year of graduation however if that person only attended the college for a few terms, the years they attended are provided. Each person is named, their years of attendance or graduation provided and what occupation made them recognized in the community, and a small item usually related to their occupation or, in several cases, donations they provided Shepherd later.
