The new Student Services Center is open!
Thank you for all of your patience through the past three semesters. We hope you have stopped by the new building and agree that it was worth the inconvenience! If you haven't visited yet, please stop by and check it out!
Over the next few weeks, many of the fences will be coming down and the contractor will begin preparation for the second phase of the project, which will involve demolition of the former student services building, and the construction of another whole new building! During the second phase, it will be much easier to get across campus, but there will still be some minor inconveniences. Please see the new pathways map to see what the campus will look like when the next phase begins!
