History:
Dedicated in 1967, Tocik Hall is named for Fr. John Tocik O.S.F.S., an Oblate priest active in leadership roles in secondary and higher education who was also a Lieutenant-Commander of the United States Navy. Fr. Tocik was primarily responsible for negotiating the alliance between the Oblates of St. Francis DeSales and the newly formed Diocese of Allentown to create Allentown College of St. Francis DeSales. He also served as one of the first trustees of the college.
Description:
Renovated in 1992, Tocik Hall houses first-year women in 4-person suites (two double rooms that share a bathroom). Tocik Hall houses a portion of the Social Outreach Living-Learning Community, which allows service-minded students to live together and learn more about social issues, their community, and themselves. The three-story hall contains lounge/study space on four of the six wings, as well as an extended visitation main lounge. Because the building houses first-year students, it is designated as an alcohol-free area.
