From providing a quiet campus space for student study to serving as a premier epicenter featuring amazing University Faculty, research, and alumni leadership. Mosher Alumni House meeting rooms, many named for alumni whose generosity helped make the building possible, are used as a warm gathering place for returning alumni.
