Goodbye to Shellenberger Hall
Save the date for an event you won’t want to miss! 
Before we turn the page and move into the Western Star Global Grain and Food Innovation Center, we’re coming together to celebrate the place that shaped generations. Join us October 2–3, 2026, as we honor 66 incredible years of Shellenberger Hall; its history, its people, and the legacy that will carry forward into the future. 
Let’s give Shellenberger the sendoff it deserves. More details coming soon!
