Kayser Academic Center
If you need information, you've come to the right place.
The Kayser Academic Center unites the school’s Academic and College Advising Offices, Technology Center, Library, Research Services, and Archives at the heart of the campus. It maintains a collection of nearly 14,000 books, magazines, newspapers, and DVDs, with thousands of additional publications available electronically. Students and faculty can search the library's collection from anywhere via our online catalog.
Renovated in 2014 thanks to a generous gift from the Kayser family in memory of Leo Kayser Jr., former Board member, alumnus parent and grandparent, the Center offers quiet spots to read, study, research, and write. The Slaughter Reading Room and Engel Terrace provide additional spaces for students to work together on small group projects.
