Ross Hall is our Multicultural House.
Residents come from a variety of backgrounds and work closely with the Multicultural Student Coalition (MSC) on programming efforts such as an annual Multicultural Fashion Show.
Ross Hall features an intricately carved main stairwell (see a detail to the left), colorfully accented by stained-glass windows.

If you were at Wilkes before 1967...
Ross Hall was still the home of Dr. N. Frederick Schappert, a physician. Wilkes bought the home in 1967, and named it in honor of the Ross family, who aided in the development of Luzerne County.
The Romanesque-style building was built around 1896. Its property was originally part of the Atherton lot whose home stood at 36 West River Street, the current location of Waller Hall North.
