Overview

The Family and Consumer Sciences program at Shepherd University has evolved over the years, but Dr. Kathleen Corpus, chair of the Department of Business Administration and Family and Consumer Sciences, said one thing that hasn’t changed is its relevance to society.

Key Facts

The program was organized as a vocational home economics department in 1961 and moved into the college cafeteria, which was renovated and renamed the Home Economics Building. The college cafeteria was torn down in 1993-94 to make room for the Byrd Science and Technology Center. In 1977 the program moved to the newly built Stutzman-Slonaker Hall, where it remains today.
