The University of Scranton on Tuesday dedicated the Gaudenzi Family Humanities Commons, a collaborative space designed to serve students and faculty across disciplines such as English and literature, world languages and culture, theology and religious studies, history and philosophy. The programs have long been central to Scranton’s liberal arts tradition and the Jesuit mission of educating the whole person, the university stated in a news release. The renovated space includes three classrooms, featuring artwork created by graduates of the university’s humanities programs. The space is named in recognition of the Gaudenzi family’s support for humanities education.
