On Thursday, February 10, the City of Morrow, in partnership with the Clayton County Water Authority and Clayton State University, formally unveiled the Jonesboro Road Water Tower to the University and City.

"Welcome to Morrow, Home of the Clayton State Lakers" the water tower reads. The official Clayton State Lakers logo, painted in Laker Blue and Georgia Clay Orange, appears under the message.

The ceremony began with dozens of campus faculty, staff and student-athletes making the walk to the water tower where they joined local elected officials, business owners and residents who all attended the celebration. City of Morrow Mayor John Lampl welcomed the crowd and introduced University President T. Ramon Stuart. The water tower branding signals the institution's collaborative partnership to boost workforce and economic growth.

President Stuart received a proclamation from Mayor Lampl announcing Clayton State University Day (2/10) which stated, "The City of Morrow has benefited beyond measure from the presence of Clayton State and desires to continue, acknowledge, and strengthen the supportive relationship that has existed for over 50 years. Clayton State University is deserving and worthy of the highest recognition for the innumerable and ongoing contributions to our community."
