The Earl Center

...was dedicated in October 2000 and is named for ESU benefactor Earl Sauder. In addition to the Sauder family's contributions, 22 other families and individuals made significant contributions toward the renovation and completion of the building. ESU recognized one of these individuals, Charles Wilhite, an ESU Foundation trustee and Sauder Alumni Center volunteer, by unveiling the Charles Wilhite Room immediately before the center's dedication ceremony.
