1. Intercultural Understanding and Cooperation Fund Marker
The terrorist attacks on the United States of September 11, 2001 indelibly affected the final school year of the Class of 2002. In honor of their graduation, and in appreciation for the educational experience received at the school, parents and grandparents of the class have made gifts to establish a permanent endowment fund at Wyoming Seminary to enhance intercultural understanding and cooperation.
This endowment fund will be a memorial to the singular series of events that shaped the 2001-2002 academic year and a resource to foster understanding and tolerance in our world.
Erected by Wyoming Seminary.
