On Friday, October 24, Michael McComsey, an alumnus from 1971, visited the Department from his home in Washington State to officially open the newly repaired and refurbished conference room. Mr. and Mrs. McComsey’s generous donation allowed Geography to create, from the run-down room granted the Department as its first real conference room, a meeting space that is esthetically appealing, physically comfortable, and equipped for modern, computer-projected presentations. The McComseys visited the Department in February and saw how the room looked then.
There is a news item about their earlier visit further down this page. And a brief biography of Mike is available on another page. A page of photographs taken at the celebration is located within the Photos section of [the archived] website.
Thank you very much, Mike and Vilma McComsey!!!
