University Center dedication set for tomorrow
The brand new University Center has caused a buzz on campus, and the opening festivities are coming to a close.
An excerpt from the weekly President’s Memorandum from 14 years ago showed that the new University Center has been well over a decade in the making.
The event will take place in the atrium near the fireplace in front of the book store beginning at 11 am on February 19.
The event includes live music, guided tours, and brief remarks from those that have been with the project throughout its duration.
Despite the Center having been open for well over a month to the general public, a ribbon cutting ceremony will also take place.
