Memorial Benches

Creating a more user-friendly, comfortable environment is the inspiration behind the Northeastern State University Foundation's Memorial Bench Program.

The goal is to place handsome, practical park benches that complement the campus' landscaping and traffic patterns, and offer visitors, as well as students, faculty, and staff, the opportunity to relax and enjoy the beauty that surrounds them.

These six-foot benches sport classic proportions and are fashioned from heavy teakwood. Their striking and graceful design is perfectly suited to the richly wooded environment that has attracted students to NSU for nearly a century. They are exceptionally durable and weather resistant.

Through the generosity of friends and alumni of NSU, the first benches made possible through the Memorial Bench Program were placed on campus during the Spring of 2002.

Each bench includes a copper nameplate honoring the donor or the individual in whose memory the bench is endowed.

To endow a bench requires a tax deductible contribution of only $1,500. For more information, please contact the NSU Foundation at 1-800-722-9614, ext. 4200.
