New for the holidays! VCU Alumni has created the first in a series of ornaments that pay tribute to beloved campus landmarks. The inaugural 2018 ornament features the Egyptian Building, the first permanent home of the Medical Department of Hampden-Sydney College (later the Medical College of Virginia). Handcrafted in North Carolina, the limited-edition ornament is made from zinc and comes with an insert containing historical information about the building. The ornament is not available in stores and can be purchased only through VCU Alumni. Start your VCU holiday ornament collection today.
