Annual Dinner and Lecture

Interim Dean Dr. Amy Petts will introduce the new Dean of University Libraries, Dr. Nancy Abashian, followed by a presentation by Melissa Gentry, Leo Gillis, and Cody Sprunger entitled: "Hidden History: Women's Stories and the Built Environment at Ball State University".

The program will explore the architecture of Ball State University, spanning from the first structure in the late 19th century to the Alexander M. Bracken Library in the 1970s, and will bring to light the stories of the seldom-known, history-making women who lived, worked, learned, and played within the walls of these iconic buildings as told through original architectural drawings, maps, photographs, and other one-of-a-kind resources of the Ball State University Libraries.
