Shorter College selling old campus mailboxes

June 10 - Shorter College alumni and members of the local community have a chance to own a small piece of the college’s history.

Starting July 1, Shorter’s Office of Institutional Advancement will be selling old student mailboxes that were left behind with the recent renovation of the college post office. Mailboxes will be sold for $20 and will be available until Oct. 16. The old mailboxes served the college and its students for decades and have now been replaced with a more modern design.

Those interested in buying a mailbox can stop by the college’s Welcome Center, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Boxes can also be purchased online by visiting http://hawkspace.shorter.edu.

Founded in 1873, Shorter College is a Christian college committed to excellence in education. Since 2003, U.S. News & World Report has ranked Shorter among the South’s best baccalaureate colleges, and The Princeton Review annually includes Shorter on its lists of best value and best Southeastern colleges. The college offers bachelor’s degrees in 48 major areas, master’s level and undergraduate degree programs for working adults, online courses, and a vibrant intercollegiate athletic program. Shorter will transition to university status June 1, 2010. For more information, visit www.shorter.edu.
