A lasting legacy, now part of the McKendree campus. 💜🐾

During Homecoming & Family Weekend, the Bearcat community came together to honor Dr. James M. Dennis, who served as McKendree University's president from 1994-2020, with the dedication of the Dr. James M. Dennis Plaza.

Located at the corner of Alton and St. Louis streets, the plaza serves as a lasting tribute to his 26 years of leadership and service to McKendree University. ✨
