IUP is getting ready for their annual “Chalk The Walk” sidewalk commentary contest April 29th.
This year’s event marks the 34th edition of the contest and it draws close to 100 entrants each year who will use chalk to create artwork on topics ranging from the environment to politics. The public will be able to watch those drawing on the sidewalk starting at 9:00 AM on Wednesday. Judging will start at 4:00 and winners will be announced at 5:30.
As part of the University’s 150th anniversary, a table will be set up in the Oak Grove for students and employees to submit messages to future students that will be stored in a time capsule that will be opened in 50 years when the university celebrates its 200th anniversary and the nation its 300th anniversary.
In case of rain, the make up date is May 1st.
