Narrative:
The Anne Therese Guerin Hall-- now commonly called Guerin Hall--was named in honor of the founder of the Sisters of Providence. Until January 1924, it housed the entire college student body. It then served as the residence hall for freshmen and for the administration offices. The building has also housed laboratories, a social hall, and reception rooms.
Today, the first and second floors house administrative offices, including the offices of the president, admission and financial aid, registrar, business affairs, public relations, development and alumnae relations. Classes are also held in the building, and our student mothers live here with their children.
