The auditorium located in Christopher Hall (formerly the Nursing Education Building) is named to honor the C. Frederick “Todd” Wehr family. Wehr Auditorium, which seats 360, was named in gratitude for the $100,000 grant awarded to the college by the Todd Wehr Foundation in 1967. The grant was given to assist in the construction of the Nursing Education Building during the college’s 1966-1967 construction project.
There was an article about the grant in volume 3, issue 2 of Alverno Contact, an alumnae publication.
