The Class of 2006, the last of whom will graduate in December, is providing to the university a commemorative gift in the form of a 911 memorial that will be located in the new park area where Oklahoma Hall once stood. 

As a last fundraising effort to pay for the memorial, the class will be selling original design black Northwestern t-shirts, both long- and short-sleeved (sample design at right).  Short-sleeved shirts are priced at $12 and long-sleeved ones at $16.  These shirts will be available before Thanksgiving break and may be pre-ordered.  Shirts are 100 percent cotton, and if machine washed and dried, will shrink about a size over time. 

To order shirts, please e-mail Nate Soderstrom, class president, at sod.y@hotmail.com,  or sponsors Sandra Petree at skpetree@nwosu.edu,  or Lupita Sinnes at ggsinnes@nwosu.edu. Please be sure to include the number of shirts, sleeve length preference and sizes.
