��ϲʹ��'s headline stone signage at the campus entrance.

A traditional ��ϲʹ�� photo op spot!

Surround yourself by bright, billowing trees and pops of ��ϲʹ�� red as signature signage lines the paths.

A location you’ll want to visit one last time—Tranquil, beautiful, and sure to make for a reflective shot.

An architecturally aesthetic backdrop and symbol of long days (and nights) of hard work!
