Administrative staff picnic
Join fellow staffers at the annual administrative staff picnic on Thursday, June 8, between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. President Tom Hochstettler hosts the gathering.
“Put down the tools of your respective trades and join with your hard-working colleagues in celebrating the end of another successful academic year,” says Hochstettler.
If the weather holds, the picnic takes place by the outdoor pool; if Mother Nature doesn’t cooperate, the picnic moves indoors to Fields Dining Room.  Celebrate "LC Day" at PGE Park

Built in three stages, Templeton Student Center opened in 1956. The main student dining room, Arthur L. Fields Dining Room, is named for the 1962-63 chair of the Board of Trustees. Edward Stamm, for whom Stamm Dining Room is named, was a Lewis & Clark trustee and chair of the board. The courtyard that lights the inner rooms of Templeton is named for Thornton Munger, who was a Lewis & Clark trustee.
The Thayer Rooms are named for Lewis Thayer, professor of chemistry from 1946 to 1973 and a former dean of faculty. The U.G. Dubach Computer Lab is named for the professor who founded the political science department. Edward Geary, for whom the Geary Room is named, was the third president of Albany College and one of its founders. The Monteith Room is named for Monteith family members who played a central role in founding Albany College in 1867. The Gray Room is named for William Henry Gray, whose daughter was a donor to the College for many years. The Council Chamber, added in 1963, is modeled after the Assembly Hall of the United Nations in New York.
Successive renovations of Templeton Student Center from 1990 to 1995 brought under one roof all the major student organizations as well as administrative offices directly serving students. Facilities include the offices of Bon Appetit Food Service, Cashier and Credit, College Outdoors, Community Service and Leadership Development, the Dean of Students, Ethnic Student Services, International Student Services, CAS Registrar, Residence Life, Student Activities, Student Employment, and Student Financial Services. Offices for student government, programming, scheduling, and media are located near each other on the main level. The Bookstore, Counseling Center, Health Center, Mail Room, and Trail Room (cafeteria-style dining), are also located in Templeton Student Center. Historical snapshot
