Cook International House (1986-present)

The Cook International House, located at 239 West Louther Street, housed the Office of Off-Campus Studies (Office of Global Education) and the Internship Office until 2001, when these offices moved into the new Global Education Center in the newly-renovated Stern Center. Professor Emeritus Donald Flaherty, a professor of Political Science from 1952 until 1983, donated the house to the College through an annuity trust in 1986. It was named in honor of Winfield (Class of 1932) and Isabelle Cook, whose gifts created an endowed fund for the College’s international programs and helped establish Dickinson Centers in the European cities hosting Dickinson study-abroad programs, including Bremen, Germany; Toulouse, France; Malaga, Spain; Bologna, Italy; Norwich, England; and Moscow, Russia. The house now is the home of the College's Community Studies Center.
