Hansen Leadership Hall

Step into the realm of excellence at Hansen Leadership Hall, the distinguished residence that proudly houses our Leadership and Honors Students. Nestled within its inviting suite-style spaces, this hall redefines comfort, providing an expansive haven where students can seamlessly transition between focused study sessions and well-deserved relaxation.

The spacious lobby of Hansen Hall is more than just an entrance; it's a vibrant hub of activity where students come together to mingle, play the piano, indulge in board games, or unwind with a bit of television once the books are closed. The very essence of this hall is an ode to communal living, fostering an environment where both academic pursuits and social connections flourish.

Named in honor of the late Zenon C.R. Hansen, former CEO of Mack Trucks, Hansen Leadership Hall stands as a testament to his legacy, generously funded in part by The Zenon Hansen Foundation. Completed in 2000, the building offers suite-style rooms, each with gender-inclusive housing and a shared restroom, reflecting our commitment to inclusivity.

It's worth noting that while Hansen Leadership Hall welcomes all students, it's an exclusive haven for freshmen who are part of the Directions Leadership Program, a unique opportunity for personal and leadership development. 

Experience Hansen Leadership Hall – where excellence meets comfort, and every resident is embraced by a community that values both academic pursuits and personal growth.
