Archived: SCSU’s Building 51 To Be Officially Renamed Ruby Cora Webster Hall

It’s been just over a year-long process and soon St. Cloud State University’s Building 51 will be officially renamed to Ruby Cora Webster Hall.

University spokesman Jeff Wood says the renaming ceremony will follow the inauguration of new SCSU president Robbyn Wacker. The renaming comes as Ethnic Studies professor Christopher Lehman proposed the renaming last September. Ruby Cora Webster was the first African-American graduate of SCSU for a teaching degree. 

The administration then had to come up with a new system of renaming without a large financial contribution. Currently the building has covered signs in preparation for unveiling at the ceremony.

About 15 members of the Webster family are expected to attend the unveiling. The renaming ceremony will be on Monday, October 15 at 3 p.m. between Stewart Hall and the Mississippi River. Light refreshments will be served.
