Vincennes University paid honor to those who have served their country during the annual Veterans Day program.

The Knox County Asylum or what is known as the “Poor Farm” has been around for over a century, originally serving as a home for many types of people who didn’t fit into the social norms back in the 1800s.

On Thurs. Sept. 20, Daniel Franzese visited the Vincennes University campus to host a keynote where he talked to local high school students about his life and career as part of College Go! Week. Franzese is an actor and comedian best known for his role as Damian in the 2004 film “Mean Girls.”

Campus has been undergoing many changes and renovations recently. Students most likely have witnessed construction take place while walking to and from class each day. Perhaps the most impactful project currently taking place on campus is the upgrading of the walkways and removal of bricks.
