It has been selected to overlook the football/track stadium - an area of campus with special meaning to both Colleen, a member of the track team, and Chris, a varsity football player at Susquehanna.
Plans include brick retaining walls and benches for seating. Two pillars will symbolize Colleen and Chris, and engraved text will commemorate the day of national and worldwide significance.
