Goshen residents had an opportunity to explore renovated spaces in the college’s Union Building, experience a live broadcast of 91.1 The Globe and win prizes, including an iPad mini, during a community fair and open house. The family friendly event also featured student musicians and performers, face painting, student and faculty artwork and complimentary food.

In 2012, the Union Building underwent a renovation that transformed the west half of the old gym into new office spaces, a conference room, reception area and renovated bathrooms. The project was funded by the Lilly Endowment, which in 2006 granted $12.5 million to Goshen College to establish the Center for Intercultural Teaching and Learning (CITL), now known as the Center for Intercultural and International Education (CIIE). CIIE encompasses what was once the Multicultural Affairs Office, CITL, and the International Education and Study-Service Term (SST) programs. View more photos of the renovation.
