Anne Pesola, education and outreach coordinator, will give the presentation at Jacobs Library on campus. It will take place in the C-201 Active Learning Space.

According to the news release, the La Salle mansion was designed by architect W.W. Boyington. Built in 1876, the mansion is renowned for its architectural beauty and for the influential families who lived there over generations. Featuring seven levels and 57 rooms, the building was a site for historic accomplishments in industry, philosophy, publishing, and religion.
