Maxine Frank Singer Hall, one of only a very few science buildings named for a woman on an American college campus, honors pioneering molecular biologist Maxine Singer ’52, H’78 and houses biology, psychology, and engineering. In engineering, a rarity at a liberal arts college, students gain the tools to adapt to new technical and societal challenges, and leave with the creativity and confidence to solve problems of ever-growing complexity, as well as the compassion to consider the social impact of their actions.
