Founders Auditorium at the University of La Verne has recently undergone a major renovation. The auditorium has been renamed the Ann & Steve Morgan Auditorium.  Morgan Auditorium is located within Founders Hall, the third-oldest building on the La Verne campus and the second-oldest facility built specifically for the institution’s use.  The new Morgan Auditorium re-opened on February 11, 2011.  Dr. Cornell West was the first speaker at the 2011 Fasnacht Lecture and the inaugural event in the newly-renovated Morgan Auditorium.

You can read more about the project here:  Auditorium Renovation Project.

Students sending their student recital repertoire should click here to send to Steve Biondo or, download the PDF, print and submit the form to Steve Biondo.
