Peru State College (PSC) officials will express their gratitude to Dr. Daryl Long and pay tribute to his late wife, Peggy Long Thursday, Oct. 17.
The event at 11 a.m. in the Performing Arts Center will recognize the couple’s remarkable generosity, particularly their recent donation of 26 acres to the college, which will play a key role in the institution’s future development.
“Peru State College is thrilled to receive this generous gift from Daryl and Peggy Long. This property will impact the college far into the future, and we’re eager to explore how to use it to benefit our students. This land will forever be known as the Long Farm, and a bronze plaque will be installed to honor their contribution,” President Michael Evans said in expressing his appreciation.
