"This time capsule commemorates the 2020 opening of the Chappell Family Nursing and Population Health Building. Inside the time capsule (sealed by a commemorative plaque) faculty and staff placed messages that will be shared with future faculty and nursing students in 2045, the 75th anniversary of TRU."
