2013 Elizabeth Hall Ribbon Cutting Gallery

One of the high points of Welcome Week 2013 was the ribbon cutting for Elizabeth Hall, the last of four major post-Katrina building projects for the Gulf Park campus. On Wednesday, August 28, Dr. Rodney Bennett, president of The University of Southern Mississippi, joined Dr. Frances Lucas, vice president and campus executive officer for the Gulf Coast operation, in marking the occasion when Elizabeth Hall is returned to the service of educating the minds of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
