Watch a video of the Lincoln Hall Rededication ceremony that took place on Tuesday, February 12, 2013. This ceremony, on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, was exactly 100 years to the day of the building’s original dedication.

“I currently teach English at New Trier Township High School, and with all the technology in the classroom—projectors, computers, iPads—I still think back to my first day in my first classroom in Lincoln Hall with its couple of pieces of chalk, eraser, and blackboard, and marvel at what a gift it is to be a teacher.”

—Mark Wukas, BA ’77, history; MA ’79, English
