Coach Coury Plaque Dedication

Thank you to all who joined us to unveil the Coach Coury Plaque and share in a fun afternoon of memories of Coach. The Plaque is impressive and is be a fitting memorial to a very special man, coach, mentor, friend and an outstanding example of how we all should live our lives.

Plaque Location - Alumni Plaza
If you were not able to make it to the event, enjoy the photos by clicking the link on the right and be sure to stop by the next time you are on campus. The Plaque is located in Alumni Plaza between the Meruelo Athletic Center and Joe O'Hara Field. For easiest access to the area, park at the south end of the parking lot or in the parking structure.

This plaque would not have been possible without the dedication of Tom Haupert '58 and Bob Webber '59. Tom and Bob put in countless hours to make this project come to life. We are grateful for their efforts in making this fitting tribute come to life. A very special thank you as well to the numerous donors who contributed to funding the plaque.
