Due to an increasing volume of posters found in unauthorized areas on campus, the Student Activities Office will enforce a stricter poster policy during second semester. All student groups are encouraged to attend this meeting to creatively brainstorm solutions to this current problem and discuss new policy for groups who violate postering regulations. All suggestions are welcome! If your group would like to be heard, take this opportunity to share your thoughts! FREE PIZZA WILL BE PROVIDED! Have questions? E-mail Katherine Stanton AT brown.

A bit of history on
Partridge Hall:
Originally built in 1883 by Henry Beckwith (Alpheus Morse, architect), it was bequeathed to the University in 1892 by Dr. Herbert Partridge. Interestingly as a late work by Morse, it is typical of the kind of single-family dwellings that filled middle-class Providence in the 1880’s and 1890’s. In 1986, the Third World Center was relocated to Partridge Hall and currently shares this space with the Student Activities Office.
