PITTSBURG, Kan. — A sense of belonging and family filled the Wilkinson Alumni Center on Friday as the community and Pittsburg State University staff celebrated five decades of togetherness. “Fifty years ago, the Wilkinson Alumni Center was envisioned as a place to celebrate our past and invest in our future,” Vice President for University Advancement Kathleen Flannery said. “Today we honor just not a building, but the people and the memories that have built them.” The alumni center was built in 1975 thanks to a donation by Cecil and Eva Wilkinson.
