Laker Connection

Time Unlocked

When a committee of faculty and staff came together in 1994 to create a time capsule containing historical items from the school’s 25 years since its inception, they left a simple message: “The 1994 Time Capsule Committee humbly places these precious items within the capsule in the hopes that future friends of Clayton State College will enjoy reminiscing over the past of this noble institution.”

Since then, Clayton State has experienced a number of milestones—university status, new buildings, the addition of more degrees and thousands of students graduating the institution who are making their dreams real. The items in the time capsule show the best of who we are as a campus and a community.
