New Faces and New Spaces By Dr. Angela Schmiede
As we welcomed the new faces of the Class of 2021, the College was busy constructing new spaces to enhance the student experience at Menlo. While some projects were less visible, such as new roofs for the Haynes-Prim Pavilion and Florence Moore Hall, other projects will significantly support how our students engage in sports, express their creativity, and build community—with each other and with alumni. Many alumni toured the new spaces during OAKtoberFest and said how lovely the campus looked. If you weren’t able to come in October, stop by for a personal tour!
Athletic Department Those of you who spent your freshman year in Kratt Hall will be amazed to see the transformation of the lower level of Kratt into beautiful office space and conference rooms for coaches and other Athletics staff.
Gullard Family Academic Success Center Thanks to a generous donation from trustee Mike Gullard and Literature Instructor Pamela Gullard, the College was able to renovate the front half of the Administration Building. The goal of the project was to provide students with one-stop service in a contemporary setting from an array of student support teams: Academic Advising, Disability Services, the Math Center, the Writing and Oral Communication Center, Peer Tutoring, and Internships, Career Services, and Study Abroad.
