Time Capsule Buried at Loockerman Hall
Thursday, September 14, 2017
Fifty years from now – 2067 to be exact – a time capsule is slated to be unearthed from the hallowed grounds surrounding DSU’s historic Loockerman Hall.
DSU officials buried the time capsule in a Sept. 14 ceremony immediately after the annual Convocation that officially ushered in the 2017-2018 academic year.

DSU President Harry L. Williams and SGA President Lackeeria Lewis included separate letters in the Time Capsule to their 50-year successors.
“I don’t want to reveal what I wrote in the letter, because I want it to be a complete surprise to the president of that time,” Dr. Williams said. “Suffice it to say that I congratulated the president for being the top leader of DSU and told him that it is an honor in the highest position at this great institution.”
When the time capsule is opened in 50 years, also inside will be found:
