Some of the many photos capturing the Hall of Science Dedication and Open House on September 23, 2011 have been compiled into a photo essay. Some of the moments captured in the essay include the reception honoring donors who named a seat in the new state-of-the-art lecture halls, the official dedication commemorated by Dean Kingsford, Provost Para, CSULB President Alexander, CSU Chancellor Reed, and keynote speaker Alumnus Bob Decker, Ph.D. and a ribbon cutting ceremony. In addition, there are pictures of the donors who named rooms, the self-guided tours, the lunch reception for all, and the VIP lunch for invited guests.
The building is open, and the halls are filled with students! The only thing missing is YOU and YOUR NAME attached to this state-of-the-art facility. Help ensure that it remains state-of-the-art into the future by making your tax-deductible gift in monthly, quarterly or semi-annual payments over the course of one year.
