Susquehanna University Memorial Donor Plaque

Donor recognition at Susquehanna University is expressed through a custom-designed donor plaque honoring the Fossil Collection and the generosity behind it. The plaque features a distinctive, organic shape that visually references geological forms, reinforcing the academic focus of the collection while creating a memorable and meaningful recognition piece.

Printed artwork inspired by fossil textures and earth tones is applied to the acrylic face, adding depth, color, and visual interest without engraving. The donor message acknowledges the gift from alumni supporters and includes a memorial dedication, connecting philanthropy, scholarship, and legacy in a single, cohesive design.

Mounted with polished standoff hardware over a contrasting backer, the layered construction creates dimension and a refined presentation suitable for an academic or museum-style setting. Durable materials and precise fabrication ensure long-term performance while maintaining clarity and impact. This donor plaque transforms recognition into an educational design element that celebrates scientific discovery, honors faculty legacy, and highlights the lasting value of donor support at Susquehanna University.
