Leave Your Impression on EIU Forever
EIU alumni have a unique opportunity to applaud their rich EIU experiences and a chance to solidify their personal EIU legacies with an engraved Commemorative Courtyard brick or paver.
By investing in an engraved brick/paver, you are acknowledging and honoring your time and accomplishments on campus, or helping
to memorialize friends or family members who would be proud to know they've been recognized
with a lasting tribute to their time on campus. Personalized bricks/pavers will be
permanently and proudly displayed in EIU’s Commemorative Courtyard near the Library
Quad, leaving an enduring impression that current and future generations of our growing
EIU family can celebrate for years to come.
In addition, 80 percent of all brick/paver investments can be designated to support
a scholarship, college, department, or program of your choice.
We appreciate and value your help in paving the way for EIU's continued success!
