How It Looks Now


How It Is Proposed to Look

We are upgrading LSE's 50-year-old auditorium with the aid of a $400,000 fundraising campaign, "Please Be Seated!" The renovated auditorium will be named in honor of Jennifer L. Dorsey-Howley, a 1985 LSE graduate, who tragically lost her life during the September 11th terrorist attacks. While at LSE, Jennifer pursued her love of music by participating in Ars Nova, Court Choir, and Night of Knights, so it seemed fitting to name the Performing Arts Center in her honor.
