CAMPUS
The Spot
Administration officials have been
forced to host high school outreach
programs off campus after Associated Student Government leaders opposed the use of The Spot at a meeting in late March.
“Students feel very passionate
about [the Spot]. All of the safe places
students have on campus are being
depleted and this is one of them. It
has been continuously closed down,”
said Luis Mejia, chair of the Spot
Committee.
Renovations on campus, especially the removal of trees in front of the
C-Building and Dunlap Hall, have
made it harder for students to find a
place to relax in between classes, and
for administrators to host events.
The Johnson Building will be closed
for renovations for two to three
years. Everything it housed has been
moved to The Village.
“We’re going to have find out how
we can engage the students with The
Village. We’ll have lots of challenges,
but also good opportunities to think
of ways that maybe we haven’t done
before,” Dean of Student Affairs Lilia
Tanakeyowma said.
