Brock Hall Rooms Named in Honor of Drs. Nick Barker and Lou Voskuil

In the new Brock Hall, the faculty lounge and a conference room have been named in honor of two retired faculty members who made extraordinary contributions through their service to Covenant. A reception was held on October 27 to dedicate the Nick Barker Faculty Lounge and the Lou Voskuil Conference Room. In expressing appreciation for the colleagues with whom he served, Dr. Voskuil said that someday he may sneak into the room and write their names on the wall too. The rooms have become informally known as the Barker Lounge and the Lou. You can see more pictures from the reception on Covenant’s Facebook page.
