The Lee F. Browne Dining Hall Naming Celebration

Join us in celebrating the dedication of the Lee F. Browne Dining Hall, Caltech's central dining facility, which was named in the fall of 2021 in honor of the late Lee Franke Browne, a former Caltech employee and lecturer who dedicated his life and career to efforts that expanded students' access to STEM, and who advanced human rights. Browne, who passed away in 2010, served for two decades as Caltech's director of secondary school relations and special student programs before retiring as a lecturer in education, emeritus.

This dedication, which is open to all members of the Caltech and Pasadena communities, will be held outside of Lee F. Browne Dining Hall on San Pasqual Street on Caltech's campus, on Thursday, November 17, 2022, beginning at 4 p.m. The event will include a brief program with remarks from Caltech president Thomas F. Rosenbaum, local outreach partners, and campus leaders. Refreshments will be served.

The dedication is the culmination of the hard work of many Caltech students, faculty, staff, alumni, and others who came together to reflect on and deliberate about Caltech's past and to help chart a future that reflects and supports the Institute's continuing commitment to cultivate a thriving, supportive, and inclusive community of scholars.

This event is open to members of the Caltech and local community. No advance registration is necessary, but we encourage you to sign up to receive an event reminder.
