Bunce Hall was our first academic building on campus, and it was finished September 23, 1923 as we opened our doors to female education students and began our history as Glassboro Normal School. Our University went through 5 name changes before becoming what we are today, Rowan University, thanks to a $100 million dollar donation by Henry M. Rowan. Bunce Hall now houses our Foreign Language Department, Theater Department, Philosophy/Religion and English. There are two theaters in Bunce Hall,Tohill Theater and our Black Box Theater, which hold numerous performances done by our talented students. Bunce Hall is a part of every student's college experience as it faces our Commencement Green, where every student graduates and walks across our graduation stage during our annual ceremony.
