Now more than ever, it’s a great day – a great time, even – to be a Bearcat.

Cool Flex
McKendree's Flexible Seating Room is a True Gift for Campus Community
Visit the bustling halls of the Piper Academic Center on campus and you’ll encounter similar setups of the classrooms within: long tables dotted with black chairs or desks perfectly lined facing Smart Boards at the head of the room. As you wander down the first floor, peer into room number 114 and you’ll see something a little different.
