Rosauer Center Renovation Update

This summer, the Rosauer Center for Education  experienced a dramatic renovation. Our central main floor was gutted to make way for a new Active Learning Center (ALC). The former computer lab was renovated to make way for a dynamic, welcoming space that completely changes the entrance to the building. Additionally, all common hall spaces were painted bringing an element of energy and color to our previously dated scheme. The construction made for a noisy, busy summer, but the reward has been well worth it. Take a look at the changes for yourself:

We were excited and eager to welcome our students back for fall semester with this revamped space available. We look forward to seeing the ALC used on a daily basis and are proud to offer such a comfortable, collaborative space to all Gonzaga University students and faculty. 

SOE Celebrates Solar Eclipse

The staff of the Rosauer Center took a break to observe a near-total solar eclipse this morning. Eclipse glasses and traditional pinhole viewing methods were deployed to observe the once-in-a-lifetime experience. The peak eclipse occurred just before noon, when the sky darkened and the temperature dropped several degrees. What an amazing way to close an exciting summer for the School of Education!

“Darby Harrington, a Gonzaga Employee who worked for the School of Education for over ten years, is Sesame Street’s biggest fan. Which is why we were so happy to arrange a meeting between he and Bob McGrath at our 2016 Young Child Expo & Conference! Stay tuned for more exciting highlights on the conference!”
