Donor Honor Wall

In recognition of our most generous Friends, we have installed a lovely donor honor wall in the "zig-zag" corridor connecting the new Library Addition with the Malcolm A. Love Library building. On this wall we have listed, in carved polished crystal, all donors who have contributed a cumulative total of $10,000 or more to the SDSU Library. This list is accompanied by inspirational quotations and an appreciation statement to honor and highlight the donors who have contributed so significantly to the success of the Library's vision. Donor's names are inscribed on individual, diamond-shaped pieces of crystal, mounted on the wall under larger plaques containing the quotations. These quotations serve as an artistic focal point and area of interest to all passers by. This further honors the individuals and organizations listed who have contributed to our unique institution. Next time you are on campus, make a point to visit the Library and see this impressive tribute.

This wall is a one-of-a-kind work of art, commissioned from Christina Wallach of the Wallach Glass Studio in Santa Rosa, California. Ms. Wallach has developed highly innovative techniques for bas-relief carving and has discovered a method of creating true V-cut letter forms in glass. Fine V-cut graphics in glass give each line of text a distinct readability and each carved element an attractive luminescence.

We would like to invite your participation in this landmark project through a donation to your favorite library area or program. If you are interested in seeing your name listed on this wall, please contact Gloria Rhodes at (619) 594-1169
