Ihmsen Hall Refresh

Recently, the three-year long renovation project of Ihmsen Hall A Fresh Look for Ihmsen Hall: Complete was completed. Originally constructed in 1963, the upgrades to the building included a new sloped roof, new windows, and a new exterior with added insulation. They also brought an elevator and air conditioning to the College’s original detached residence hall. Rooms were updated to have new flooring, ceilings, fresh paint, shelving, and furniture. The first-floor lounge now features increased study spaces, a kitchen for residents, and much more. The renovation project was made possible in part by a $550,000 grant through the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP). The Ihmsen Living and Learning Center will help Mounties for years to come by providing a modern, relaxing environment to study, congregate, and live.

Mount Aloysius College Announces New VP for Student Affairs

After a national search, Mount Aloysius College announced that Robin A. Gore, Ed.D., has been named Vice President for Student Affairs. Gore comes to Mount Aloysius most recently from Pepperdine University in California, where she served as the Associate Dean of Student Affairs.

“Dr. Gore brings a great amount of depth and experience to this vice presidential role,” said John N. McKeegan, president of Mount Aloysius College. “Her experience with residence life, tailoring the first-year experience, and working in retention performance will be a great addition to the Mount. We are excited to welcome Robin to our student affairs team.”

Before her time at Pepperdine, Gore served in a variety of student affairs roles at the University of Wisconsin-Platteville. At the Mount, she will be responsible for guiding and overseeing student affairs and Title IX operations for the College. “It is an absolute honor to be joining the Mount Aloysius team. It is evident that the college puts students first, and I am excited to share in–and build upon–student success efforts,” said Gore. “I look forward to engaging with our students to provide them the support they need in order to thrive at the Mount and to be ready to launch into their careers.”

Gore earned her Ed.D. in Educational Leadership from Edgewood College. She also earned a Master of Science in Education, Student Affairs Administration, from the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse, and a Bachelor of Science in Biology, from the University of WisconsinPlatteville.

Gore started in her new role at the Mount on April 19, 2022.

WHY I GIVE

“Mary and I believe strongly in the mission of Mount Aloysius, particularly how it provides for an excellent educational experience for many that would not be otherwise able to obtain a quality experience. We find giving to the Mount fulfills our desire to not only generally help youth, but serve as a positive influence in the learning experience..” Greg Drew Board Member, MAC
