What Students Are Saying
“I’m most excited for the outdoor space. The UC is such a central place on campus, but we didn’t really have any places to chill outside of it.”
Alexis Hampton ’23
“I’m really excited to have a bigger community space where all students can come hang out because right now we only have our dorm rooms.”
Lauren Lencovich ’25
“Students have really great passions and ideas and may not be sure who to connect with, so having spaces like this where you can walk in, see other people, and join different activities is going to help promote a sense of community.”
Sabrina Carroll ’18 ’25G
“We miss having a meeting space that’s comfortable for all students, where they can always come back and meet so many more diverse people that you wouldn’t have met otherwise.”
Ryan Matthiessen ’21 ’23G
“So I’m excited for the UC to actually be that student union building that most colleges have that we just never really had.”
Caroline Mierzwa ’23
