SALINA, Kansas — Kansas State University Salina Aerospace and Technology Campus has named its third on-campus residence hall Earhart Hall in honor of Kansas aviator Amelia Earhart.
Earhart Hall will open in August 2023, university officials noted.
“Choosing the name Earhart Hall gives us the opportunity to honor past aviation leaders while hopefully inspiring our current students to dream big and make an impact in their future,” said Kyle Chamberlin, assistant dean of student life.
Earhart was born in 1897 in Atchison, Kansas, approximately 160 miles from the Salina campus.
The new Earhart Hall will be a 104-bed facility that will open in August and house students beginning in the fall 2023 semester.
