Pavek is also connected to the other four high-rises through tunnels that additionally connect Pavek to the West Dining Center and ACE tutoring.
History
Pavek Hall received its name in recognition of F. Leslie Pavek, Vice President of Student Affairs. Pavek was born in Grand Forks, ND on May 27, 1929. In 1952 he graduated from the University of North Dakota (UND) with a Bachelor of Science. He then went on to earn his Masters in 1960 and his Doctorate in 1968 from UND. In 1968 Pavek was appointed Dean of Students at North Dakota State University (NDSU). Then, in 1974, he was appointed Vice President of Student Affairs. In 1990, Pavek retired after 23 years of service to NDSU.
