Announcing Ann Gill Hall
Where Clark B once stood – the bridge between Clark A and C – will be a brand new, four-story building full of natural light and 21st century learning spaces – and it will be named Ann Gill Hall in honor of a beloved and stalwart Ram.
Ann was more than an excellent faculty member and dean, she was a mentor, a champion, a visionary leader in the CSU College of Liberal Arts, and most of all, an unwavering advocate for student success.
Ann Gill Hall will become a hub for civic learning, public dialogue and ethical leadership. It will be a place where students come not only to learn, but to imagine a better future and to prepare themselves to build it.
We are honored to carry forward her legacy of impact in this new building.
