“The new Stevens Alumni House will be a
campus destination, a welcome center for the
entire university and its guests, and the hub
of alumni activities.”
       - Paulette Pogue, Alumni President, ‘60


lready more than $100,000 has been contributed toward the restoration and renaming of the classic 1930 Home Management House to become the Stevens Alumni House. The campaign will provide new offices for the Alumni Office, as well as meeting space and overnight accommodations for alumni guests

      "We believe deeply in the worthiness of this project," says Julie Bohannon, director of alumni development. "This is a labor of love to alums who know the unique history of this house." Cost of this project may exceed $300,000 to restore the structure used in the 1930s and '40s as a home economics laboratory where college students lived and practiced what they learned in domestic arts and sciences courses. The first leadership gift has been given by a group of alumni calling itself the Fabulous Fifties. A guest room on the second floor will bear their name for their gift of $30,000. In this campaign, benefactors who designate a gift of $30,000 or more may name a specific room in the project.
