History:
 Brisson Hall, originally know as Tucker Hall, was the first building used to house students. Built as the first of two residence wings for the Oblate Seminary, Tucker Hall was lent to the college for use in the first year, 1965. Fr. Alexander Pocetto, retired Senior Vice President of the University, was the first Resident Advisor. Tucker Hall was named for Fr. J. Francis Tucker, the first American Oblate and the Royal Chaplain to the Principality of Monaco. Brisson Hall, was renamed in 2000 for Fr. Louis Brisson, the co-founder of the Oblates of St. Francis DeSales - a priest, chaplain, educator, inventor and social worker who is pictured here.
