ATSU lit up Kirksville’s night sky when it unveiled its newly renovated water tower on November 8. Faculty, staff, students, and members of the community gathered outside the Connell Information Technologies Center to watch the lighting and to enjoy cookies, cider, and hot chocolate.
ATSU President Jack Magruder and special guests, including Kirksville Mayor Todd Kuhns, spoke of symbolism between the university’s newly lit water tower and the shining light that ATSU represents for the community and for the world, as more than 17,000 D.O.s have hailed from ATSU.
Kirksville’s local television station, KTVO, aired a live segment of the lighting on the 6 p.m. news. Following the lighting, Dr. Magruder was presented with a water tower cake in appreciation of his leadership.
