The Promenade, a gift of the Class of 2005, depicts 150 years of Penn State student life.

Historic Light Restoration
In 2001, the senior class chose the Historic Light Restoration Project as its senior class gift at Penn State University Park. The first of these "shepherd's crook" lighting fixtures appeared behind Old Main in April 2003. Lately, lampposts have been appearing along other walkways on the campus, and today (Feb. 18), the Office of Physical Plant began hanging the light fixtures.
