| RCAH OPEN HOUSE AND JMC REUNION: OCTOBER 8 - 9 2009 |
-
The Residential College in the Arts and Humanities (RCAH) is MSU's latest residential college.
-
Located in the substantially remodeled Snyder-Phillips dorm complex (JMC's old home) and dedicated to liberal undergraduate study in the arts and humanities, RCAH represents the current MSU program most directly descended from JMC.
-
RCAH graciously sponsored an open house and reunion event for Justin Morrill College veterans on October 8 and 9, 2009.
- We Morrillites owe a debt of gratitude to RCAH Dean Esquith and his staff for planning and conducting this event. Thank You!!
