Â鶹ÊÓƵ

Â鶹ÊÓƵ alumnus and well-known local restaurant entrepreneur Chris Russell will open his newest establishment this spring at the Williamson Avenue location previously occupied by Brown & Company, which has closed. The restaurant will be called "The Town Table, food and drink," and is part of the university's plan to attract more privately owned businesses to the areas surrounding campus, serving Â鶹ÊÓƵ's students, faculty and staff and the entire local community.

Jerry Tolley, who retired Dec. 31 after a 31-year career of service to Â鶹ÊÓƵ, donated a special clock to the university archives on his last day on the job.

In its annual "Year in Photos" feature, the Office of University Relations has collected some of the best Â鶹ÊÓƵ pictures from 2009 in a retrospective slide show.
