Opening the 1993 Time Capsule
Unearthing treasures hidden for 25 years!
Did you know that “Bill Nye the Science Guy” and “The X-Files” share a September 10 birthday? Both shows started airing on television in the year when gas was only $1.16 a gallon and Michael Bay directed the first “Got Milk?” television commercial.
It’s when actress Jennifer Stone, who starred in the Shenandoah University-Capital Arts Entertainment co-production “Santa Girl” was born, and Janet Jackson’s fifth studio album, “janet.” ruled the music charts.
We’re ready to remember 1993 at Shenandoah as we open a time capsule from a year that can only be called “all that and a bag of chips,” at 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 5.

The Shenandoah of 1993!
You might not recognize the Shenandoah of 1993.
Smith Library was brand-new, having been dedicated just the year before.
If your family was ok with you tying up your phone line to get online, you would have only been able to type in the domain name, www.su.edu for around a year.
The university admitted it’s first students into its occupational therapy program in 1993, and graduated the very first class of physical therapy students.
University Inn and Edwards Residential Village were still hotels and Solenberger Hall in downtown Winchester was a hardware store.
What wasn’t here? Ohrstrom-Bryant Theatre, Ruebush Hall, the Health Professions Building at Winchester Medical Center, Halpin-Harrison Hall, Davis Hall, the Health & Life Sciences Building, the Brandt Student Center, Sarah’s Glen, the James R. Wilkins, Jr. Athletics & Events Center, and Shentel Stadium, as well as several sports teams, including the football team.
