Former President Jimmy Carter joined other dignitaries to lead the dedication and ribbon cutting for the OSU Seretean Wellness Center on Dec. 6, 1990. With funding provided by a major gift from M.B. “Bud” Seretean, class of 1949 (see additional photo), the groundbreaking for the new center had been held just the year before. Seretean — who improved his health by making positive choices in nutrition, physical activity and stress management — wanted students to learn those choices at a much earlier age in life and share them with others. The building was also funded through student fees and a major gift from Wayman R. Spence, class of 1956.
