Biographical / Historical
Meet Me at Stewart Hall! was an oral history project carried out by Shippensburg University’s History & Philosophy Department and the Shippensburg University Foundation. The project had its origins in the deteriorating Stewart Hall. The building was constructed in 1894 and served as a focal point of campus culture for many years. The Shippensburg University Foundation planned to renovate the building, and to drum up support for the fundraising campaign, then Foundation President John Clinton suggested conducting an oral history project. Dr. Steven Burg of the History & Philosophy department spearheaded the project with Applied History graduate student David Beecher before it passed on to Troy Ehrensberger in 2014. A number of history students assisted with the project. After the oral history interviews were conducted, Burg worked with several students to compile the alumni memories into a written a history of Stewart Hall. The book, Meet Me at Stewart Hall!, was published in 2016.
