Good Things in Progress for 2024

The Connors Family Fine Arts CenterHome of the Resinski Black Box Theatre

Alumni and friends have been beyond generous in a grassroots effort to build the Connors Family Fine Arts Center, named in honor of John ’64 and Sheila (Widmer) Connors ’65. The facility will house the Resinski Black Box Theatre in honor of beloved drama professor and director Kenny Resinksi. The space will provide a location where students, faculty, and the community can gather, grow in self-expression, and pursue creative endeavors.

New Home for Occupational Therapy

A renovation of the University’s former Boiler House and Fine Arts Center will allow the Occupational Therapy Department to grow and thrive. Dedicated classroom space and laboratories for pediatrics, hand therapy, industrial medicine and an acute care suite will simulate a hospital setting. The facility will provide students the opportunity to apply their academic knowledge into practical learning experiences and refine their skills.
