Two campus-wide forums examine ideas for proposed campus memorial

Two campus-wide forums are scheduled this month to gather ideas and suggestions for a proposed campus memorial honoring UGA students, faculty, staff and alumni who have died in service to the nation.
The forums will be conducted by an ad hoc subcommittee of the University Council Facilities Committee. The forums are scheduled Nov. 16 at 3:30 p.m. in room B of the Georgia Center for Continuing Education, and Nov. 28 at 3:30 p.m. in room 138 of the Tate Student Center.
University Council authorized creation of the subcommittee last April at the request of the Facilities Committee. Loch Johnson, professor of political science and chair of the Facilities Committee, is also chairing the subcommittee.
The council charged the subcommittee to study the “merits and feasibility of placing a memorial on campus in remembrance of those students, faculty, staff and alumni who gave their lives in service of the United States military.” The memorial will be built with private donations.
Johnson said the subcommittee welcomes ideas on all aspects of the memorial, including its purpose, appearance and location.
As a way to stimulate discussion, the subcommittee will display proposals created by four students as a class project in the School of Environmental Design. Johnson says the designs suggest possible approaches to some of the questions involved in creating the memorial.
Johnson says he hopes the subcommittee will have a detailed recommendation to present to the council next spring.
