O'Kelly Hall

Formerly known as Medical Science South, O'Kelly Hall was built in 1949. In September 1995 the building was renamed in honor of Dr. Bernard O'Kelly, Dean Emeritus of the College of Arts and Sciences. O'Kelly retired in 1995 as the longest-serving arts and science dean in the nation. He was the founding member and the first convener of the North Dakota Committee for the Humanities and Public Issues. He has also served as the first president of the National Federation of State Humanities Program.
