Maggie Hall and Students“Emeritus locations were quite colorful — from a desk in the old switchboard room on the SMC Main Campus in 1975 to a multistoried showcase on Second Street. I still remember the many tight quarters and temporary spaces on the main campus. I now laugh at the memory of the rumble of cars overhead at 1433 Second Street, the line at the restrooms, and the crowded front office….Then a bond issue for a permanent home for Emeritus passed, and a fantastic permanent home was purchased. The feeling of being a vagabond was gone.”
— Maggie Hall, retired Associate Dean of Emeritus
