“It is incredible to be teaching in the renovated Sverdrup Hall. As faculty, we’re all feeling the positive impact from teaching in rooms with more space, updated technology, and the ability to foster more collaborative learning experiences. However, we collectively agree that the impact on students has been palpable; impression and environment have an overall positive impact and I’m seeing that reaction regularly with my students.”
- Aaron AuBuchon, Department Chair of Digital and Photographic Media
