An Historic Move for the Hall


On November 10, 2006, the Board of Directors of Dwight Hall voted to move Dwight Hall operations to 143 Elm Street which currently houses offices of the Department of Music. The move is projected for the fall of 2010 after a total renovation of the new location. The Board's decision provides a great opportunity for student, Board, staff leadership and donors to usher in an exciting new chapter in the Hall's history.
