The College of Human Sciences offers students hands-on learning that sets them apart from their peers. – Jack Betts, Human Sciences Partners Group field. The College has growing pains, and it is unacceptable to me to do nothing about it. If we were to do nothing, we would be depriving students a quality education they deserve.” Longtime donor and 1966 School of Hotel and Restaurant Administration graduate Bryan Close agrees. “The College of Human Sciences offers students hands-on learning that sets them apart from their peers. It’s what makes the programs like Hotel and Restaurant Administration exceptional and the education they receive from OSU unique,” he said. “I love seeing both the students and the College succeed.”
The north wing expansion created opportunities for realigning the vacated spaces of the original building. Plans are being made for several departments to take advantage of the spaces that were opened up when other programs moved into the north wing. “Our next steps will be to determine how best to use those empty offices and labs,” Wilson said. In the meantime, the North Wing’s bright new spaces are drawing rave reviews from students, faculty, alums and guests who have experienced them.
Since 1992, Taylor’s has provided fine dining experiential learning for HRAD students. Its bright new location is easily found right off the North Wing’s Great Hall.
