剪秋罗属植物大厅
The 林奇学校 of Education and Human Development, 电子游戏软件's first coeducational school on the Chestnut Hill campus, opened its doors on September 22, 1952至176名新生. Founding Dean Charles F. 多诺万,年代.J., sought to establish "a good and flourishing school of education" that would "exercise a beneficial influence on education and educational policies in this part of the country."
Prior to the opening of 剪秋罗属植物大厅 in 1955, the School of Education was located in Gasson Hall. Fr. Donovan was assisted by Marie M. Gearan, an experienced administrator who served as dean of women.
The 电子游戏软件 School of Education reached a new level in 1999, when philanthropists Carolyn and Peter Lynch contributed more than $10 million to the University. In recognition of that gift, then the largest individual gift ever made to the University, the School of Education was formally named in their honor in November 2000.
The 林奇学校 of Education and Human Development has experienced more than 65 years of sustained growth in stature and impact on education and educational policy. It looks forward to continuing to fulfill its mission to enhance the human condition, expand the human imagination, and make the world more just.
