The West End Neighborhood is celebrating another milestone with the opening of the Zeta Tau Alpha and National Pan-Hellenic Council (NPHC) houses located on the new Kensington Promenade. The community is invited to attend a special grand opening ceremony for the NPHC house on Friday, Oct. 18 at 5:30 p.m. This event will feature speakers including Interim Chancellor and Provost Susan R. Wente.

Other elements of the West End Neighborhood are wrapping up this semester. Sod is being planted, gates are being installed and pavers are being placed throughout the area. In late September, the new The Green and Kensington Promenade greenways opened to the public just in time for Family Weekend.
