As mentioned before, Christopher Newport University was established in 1960. Even though CNU has been around for quite some time, most of the buildings were built/opened within the past 14 years, making it seem as if it’s a new university. With CNU being as “new” as it is, it has offered many students great opportunities. We are fortunate enough to have state of the technology and resources. Down below are a list of CNU’s most notable buildings and when they were opened.

The Ferguson Center for Arts (2005)

David Student Union (2006)

Paul and Rosemary Trible Library (2008)

McMurran Hall (Original Christopher Newport Hall- opened 2010)

In 1960 Christopher Newport College was established, later becoming Christopher Newport University (CNU) in 1992. In 1977 Christopher Newport gained independence from the College of William and Mary, where they used to be a two year branch.

In comparison to last week’s cold weather, today’s high was 67 °F. It was so nice out that my programming professor let us out 15 minutes early so we could go join everyone else on the Great Lawn.

It’s been so cold on campus that I haven’t had much of an opportunity the past few days to walk around during my breaks. The photo above was taken Thursday night, it’s a picture of CNU’s cafe, Einstein’s. Einstein’s is one of the most popular hangout/study spots on campus but with the super cold weather it was almost empty. It was actually a video but it was so cold that the camera froze lol.
