The R. Michael Shanahan Center for Teaching and Learning has been up and running since the semester's start, and this past Saturday the HMC community celebrated the dedication of the building. After the opening speeches and presentations, attendees wandered the structure finding goodies to eat in various places, listened to presentations, and enjoyed the new space which so clearly defines the campus center now. It hadn't occurred to me that there was no one central place on campus for the HMC community to gather (there had been several places, but not very centrally located). Now there is such a comprehensive place - smack in the middle of campus - with a variety of purposes. Besides classrooms, a recital hall, a small art gallery, you will also find a cafe (with Starbucks coffee), tutoring and writing center, the Math Department, Admissions and the President's Office and other places I have forgotten.
