Posted in: Awards & Recognition
Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ dedicated the naming of Irvin D. Reid Hall on September 20 in honor of the former president who three decades ago was the driving force behind Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ achieving university status.
The ceremony was held outdoors in front of the former Science Hall and home of the Department of Biology, the late afternoon setting highlighting both the quintessential beauty of Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s campus and Irvin D. Reid’s numerous contributions to student success during his eight-year tenure as Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ’s president.
To have my name associated with any structure on this campus, but particularly a science building is just the most touching thing that I could think of.
