Class banners await restoration.
By John Curran//Class banners that once hung in Whitaker are now being stored in Rosenstock until they can be assessed for deterioration.
During the summer, several renovations were being made to Whitaker Campus Commons. One of those renovations included painting all of the railings. In order to access the railings on the second floor, the class banners had to be removed.
When students arrived on campus for the fall semester and did not see the banners, many made the assumption that the banners had been disposed.
“It was never our intention to inform students about taking down the banners,” said Olivia White, dean of students. “After taking a closer look at the banners, we realized that some of the banners were deteriorating, so we decided to store them until we could have a conservationist look at them.”
