Centennial Circle was established in 1993, when UM celebrated its 100th birthday. Paved with red bricks, the circle surrounds Rudy Autio's landmark Grizzly Bear statue, located on the western edge of UM's Oval.
Since then, hundreds of UM alumni and supporter have become a permanent part of the UM campus by having their name and/or special message engraved on a brick in Centennial Circle.
Centennial Circle Bricks cost $200 each. The bricks are engraved each May and September. Proceeds from bricks sales go toward special UM projects and marketing.
