Vacc in back

Oct 29 2009

The Nicholas A. Vacc Bell Tower (background, left) stands on Anniversary Plaza, peering through the trees at UNCG’s beautifully renovated Alumni House. The 47-foot brick tower at Spring Garden Street and College Avenue is a 2005 gift from Dr. Nancy Vacc in memory of her husband, Dr. Nicholas Vacc. Both were longtime faculty members in the School of Education. It includes a four-faced clock and four bells, which toll every 15 minutes. The Alumni House, which dates back to 1935, underwent a stunning historical preservation in 2008, thanks to generous alumni who ensured the building’s legacy would continue for generations to come.
