In recognition of Wittenberg’s 160th birthday on March 11, Lehan Peters ’03, director of The Wittenberg Fund, led a campus-wide birthday celebration complete with cake and a festive screen saver on all university computers.

“We’re celebrating 160 years of excellence, and we wanted to include everyone,” Peters said. “This spring, we also have many activities planned for the campus community to come together to celebrate an institution that has given us so much.”

Peters has been promoting the landmark birthday for some time, making use of a “160 Years of Excellence” theme to encourage members of the Wittenberg community to make monetary contributions to its long-term financial security.

A Web site was also created to commemorate the university’s founding. The site includes a timeline, background information on Wittenberg’s history and traditions and a Flash-designed presentation. Guests to the site can also hear the Alma Mater sung by the Wittenberg Choir.
