Celebrating Grand Marshall Week



Interior of the Clubhouse

Assistant Institute Archivist Jenifer Monger will be presenting on key spaces which have been utilized, advocated for, appropriated, and experienced throughout campus and its environs.  At Rensselaer, the academic, athletic, social, and common spaces used, and often created, by students and administration have come and gone, ebbing and flowing from one decade to the next.  Inspired by photographs and documents, Jenifer will explore the Old Gymnasium, the ’86 Field, the Clubhouse/Union, the Houston Fieldhouse, and Grand Marshal events from myriad vantage points.  Come see how the meanings of spaces have played major roles in campus life.



A continental breakfast will be served.  The event is free and everyone is welcome, but an RSVP to Adrienne Birchler (518-276-8329 or bircha@rpi.edu)  is required to reserve a seat.
