Principles of Community Week

With every day that we follow the Principles of Community, we reaffirm them. But every couple of years or so, we reaffirm them with a ceremony, like the one in Freeborn Hall in April 2010 when the principles turned 20 years old

At that time, Chancellor Linda P.B. Katehi signed the document for the first time, having arrived on campus the previous August.
