Harris Hall

Harris Renovations Accommodate Growth, Improved Programs

Thanks to just-completed renovations in Harris Science Hall at Pfeiffer University, the Department of Natural Sciences now has four new classrooms and three revamped ones as well as a new conference room and a new suite of faculty offices. As a result, the department can now accommodate enrollment growth in its programs, which include biology, chemistry, environmental science, physics and math. Lectures, which once took place in labs, now take place in classrooms that are more conducive to lecturing and group work. The new conference room will host meetings of faculty, research groups and teleconferences with collaborators. Read More »      Virtual Tour »

Virtual Reunions Scheduled – Mark Your Calendar!

 

COVID-19 may have forced Pfeiffer to postpone an in-person Homecoming celebration this year, but it can’t keep alumni from celebrating virtually.

Meetings are scheduled for September and October. If you would like more details, or want to help schedule a virtual gathering for your class, contact Tonya Judge at (704) 463-3038 or tonya.judge@pfeiffer.eduWe’ll also be celebrating each week with Flashback Fridays on Pfeiffer’s Alumni Facebook page, and hope you’ll join the fun by posting pictures of your own!
