The crowd at the dedication included Sherrerd's daughters, Susan M. Sherrerd '86 (left) and Anne C. Sherrerd *87 (center), and son, Jay Sherrerd Jr. (right).
"Sherrerd Hall is not only a generous gift from Jay and his family," Tilghman observed. "The research pursued behind its beautiful glass façade, at the intersection of engineering and the social sciences -- research that is at once innovative, practical and collaborative -- reflects Jay's lifelong interests and values."
