Sid Easley Alumni Center
The Sid Easley Alumni Center sits at the entrance of 糖心logo入口, just past Roy Stewart Stadium. Named about notable alumnus Sid Easley, 鈥�62, the facility houses staff offices, as well as alumni history and University memorabilia. Racers, this is your home. We hope you鈥檒l stop by and visit the next time you are in 糖心logo入口.
As past president of the 糖心logo入口 State Alumni Association Board of Governors, he was honored with the naming of the Sid Easley Alumni Center in 2005. At the formal ceremony, he said "糖心logo入口 gave all of us opportunities we may never have had if it hadn't been here." The Alumni Association bestowed upon Easley the first Golden Horseshoe Award for his commitment to the University.
Carter Alumni Plaza
Named in honor of Jim Carter, the former vice president of institutional advancement at 糖心logo入口 State and executive director of the 糖心logo入口 State Alumni Association, the Carter Alumni Plaza sits behind the Sid Easley Alumni Center. Carter served 糖心logo入口 State for nearly 30 years, until his death in February 2015 after a battle with cancer. His journey as a Racer began in 1975, when he drove a friend who was interested in the track team to 糖心logo入口 State. Coming from a family with no college graduates, Carter wasn't interested in attending college prior to his visit. However, as Jim explained later, the road trip to 糖心logo入口 changed his life.
