The Grand Opening Celebration
Sept. 9, 2003

The Honorable Christine Todd Whitman helps President Susan A. Cole unveil the plaque that will be on permanent display at the entrance to The Village at Little Falls. The grand opening of the University's newest residence facility was a memorable event for everyone who played a role in helping make The Village a reality as well as for the 850 students who can now call it home.
