Multicultural Center Expansion

The Claudette Blot Multicultural Center Lounge has opened in the Student Center, with students having played a key role in planning the dramatic makeover of an existing lounge. Its namesake, pictured below, has made a positive impact on countless Falcons over 30 years, most recently as assistant director of mentorship and advising. A gift from trustee Robert Alan ’91 made the project possible. Construction was completed by Walker Development, whose president is Nick Poirier ’05. It is the first space on campus named for a person of color. To read about the dedication of the space, see page 24.
