There is a photograph of Attallah A. Kidess, the Director of the International Center, Emmanuel Osei-Antwi, graduate student at Springfield College, and Charles Weckwerth, a faculty member at the school. The International Center was first established in 1965 and was dedicated to Springfield College President Laurence Locke Doggett, President of the college for forty years. The International Center originally consisted of a suite of three newly decorated rooms, of which the main one was named "The Laurence Locke Doggett Room," on the first floor of Alumni Hall. The International Center officially became the Laurence Locke Doggett International Center on November 18, 1972. At that time it was located in Marsh Memorial Building on the second floor. Dr. Attalah A. Kidess, the center's first director, believed it would serve to centralize SC's international outreach. A statement that has proved true well into the 2010s. Though its location has moved throughout the years, it remains the center for Springfield College's International Outreach. For more information on Attallah A. Kidess, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/579.
