Athens State University has officially opened the Nazaretian Alumni Welcome Center.
The center will house the Office of Alumni Affairs and serve as a welcome center for alumni and campus visitors.
“The Nazaretian Alumni Welcome Center was reconstructed to preserve the home of Dr. Angie Nazaretian, a longtime Athens State employee and former director of the Athens State University Alumni Association,” said Dr. Keith Ferguson, vice president for university advancement. “The center has offices for alumni, staff, meeting space, event space, and will serve as a historical repository for University Museums and Archives.”
Nazaretian, who retired in 2000, died in 2019.
“Dr. Nazaretian believed deeply in the potential of every student,” said Dr. Catherine Wehlburg, president of Athens State. “This center reflects her lifelong commitment to their success. Her memory will continue to inspire all who walk through our historic columns.”
