Centennial Circle Bricks
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.
Become a permanent part of the University of Montana campus by having your name or another special person's name engraved on a brick in Centennial Circle.
Centennial Circle Bricks cost $200 each and may be engraved with the names of students, alumni, family members, friends, teachers and anyone else who deserves special recognition. Brief messages also are an option.
The bricks are engraved twice a year – before Spring Commencement and before Homecoming in the fall. Orders for the next engraving in the fall must be received by Sept. 16, 2024. UM plans to complete the next engraving before the Homecoming football game on Saturday, Oct. 11, 2024.
Wondering what to engrave on your brick? The format for each brick is three lines of 14 characters maximum. View sample bricks here.
Proceeds from brick sales go toward special UM projects and marketing.
