We’re always happy to see our friend and internationally recognized Broadway historian Steve Friedman at Vinson Hall! As part of his ongoing Broadway lecture series, he recently came to campus to give a presentation all about the iconic choreographer Bob Fosse.

The next time you visit our campus, you may notice that our main entrance has a refreshing new look! Crews from Carroll Architectural Shade in Baltimore installed brand new awnings at the front and rear lobby entrances of our Heritage Hall building. We look forward to enjoying time outside in the shade this summer!

Did you know that we have a real, working library at Vinson Hall? Managed by Mary, our long-time librarian, the library is available 24/7 and offers books, DVDs and magazines to borrow, as well as computers and printers for residents to use. A team of dedicated resident volunteers assist with keeping books stocked, shelved and organized – no small task since the collection has more than 10,000 titles! If you love to read, you’ll likely find your next adventure waiting on our shelves!
