Will pictures of Britney Spears, a CD of Andrea Bocelli, a video game, a newspaper from Sept. 11 be found in a time capsule unearthed in 2061
Sonoma State University will figure that out as it begins to accept ideas for items to put in an hermetically-sealed steel container to be buried next year in the campus Alumni Grove.
"We want to provide a legacy for future generations," says Susan Kashack, "and to show and tell the people of tomorrow about our world today."
Kashack is heading up the 40th Anniversary Committee coordinating activities for the year-long celebration of the university's observance of its 40th year of classes. Plans for this semester include a lecture series on the history of the campus and an exhibit of articles from the university archives. A Founder's Day ceremony is set for next spring.
"We are looking for suggestions for items no bigger than a bread box to place in the time capsule," she said. "We don't necessarily need the items themselves, just suggestions on those articles we can find or have donated. "
Anyone who has ideas for the time capsule should contact Kashack at (707) 664-2122 or e-mail her at susan.kashack@sonoma.edu.
