Western Michigan University news and updates from around the web for April 5 - April 11, 2013.
This week's campus photo features the clock tower on Kanley Memorial Chapel. At night, the tower is illuminated. Completed in 1953, the chapel was made possible by a gift from the William Kanley Estate. The inter-faith chapel is used for weddings, non-denominational campus ministry meetings, and memorials. The chapel is decorated with student-designed artwork and features a Kilgan Pipe Organ, which was refurbished in 1994. To learn more about Kanley Memorial Chapel, please visit the website, here.
