We formally dedicated the Christine and Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Library & Learning Center on Graduation Day, May 3rd, 2008 here in Prescott Arizona @ the Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University campus.
Both Christine and Steven were here to make remarks during the dedication. Steven F. Udvar-Hazy, President of International Lease Finance Corp., gave the Commencement address, talking about the responsibilities of students in this globally competitive world.
The new library will probably have it's new smell for a long time to come. Even now, interior construction has started to install European glass wall displays for our Guinness World Book of Records, world-renown Kalusa display of miniature wooden, hand-painted airplanes.
During the Dedication, over 1,600 people came and went for the food. Dedication ceremonies on a nearly picture-perfect, blue sky day in Prescott, Arizona featured food from on-site Chartwells dining room staff. Impeccably displayed and served: 2 meat carving stations for roast beef and turkey, a dessert station with little cheesecake tasty treats and chocolate-covered strawberries. Also champagne for all! Flower and table displays throughout the 2 floors of the new library.
The Library dedication will be the talk of campus and the place to BE forevermore.
