College center experiences name change

This fall, the MHCC College Center has officially been renamed the Student Union.

It initially was named the College Center because it is technically at the center of campus. However, Associated Student Government members suggested the space acquire a more fitting name.

The new name describes what happens there: It’s a place where students come to eat, listen to live music, look at art and meet up — overall, the “union” of students.

College Center Director David Sussman (his title remains unchanged, for now) said the switch was inspired by how students view the space, “like a living room, a place for students to come and hang out.” He said he hopes the new name will be “more fitting and inviting for students.”
