The 2014-2015 academic year is officially one for the books and UTC is poised for a great 2015-2016.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, May 2nd<\/sup> UTC celebrated the conferring of degrees to more than 1500 undergraduate and graduate candidates.\u00a0 Graduation is, in my opinion, the best day in the life of a university.\u00a0 It is the culmination of years of work by our students, of course, but it also represents the work and mentoring of our faculty and staff.\u00a0 What a wonderful ceremony and the beginning of so many bright futures.\u00a0 Thank you to all of our faculty and staff who participated on Saturday and those who worked behind the scenes to make Saturday\u2019s commencement a memorable event.<\/p>\n

Graduation means an end to the academic year and the beginning of summer \u2014 the time of the year when the campus is literally on the move!\u00a0 We have approval to move forward with the planning for the Lupton Library\/Fine Arts renovation project beginning this summer. \u00a0We are working to ensure that funding for the Lupton\/Fine Arts project is the top UT priority for next year\u2019s capital budget.\u00a0 If funded, we would be in position to start renovation in the latter part of 2016.\u00a0 Part of this funding request includes work in the Fine Arts Center.<\/p>\n

Other projects with move implications include the renovation of Holt, construction of the Decosimo Student Success Center in Fletcher, the opening of a one stop Student Service Center and the relocation of the Disability Resource Center.\u00a0 The renovation of Holt Hall is under design and due to start construction in May 2016.\u00a0 Construction of the Decosimo Student Success Center in Fletcher Hall necessitates Political Science\u2019s move to Pfeiffer Hall.\u00a0 Last but not least, the one stop Student Service Center will be located in the University Center\u2019s former computer lab space.\u00a0 The Records office will move to the UC from Race Hall in space adjacent to the new service center.\u00a0 The IT Solutions Center will be relocated to 1st<\/sup> Floor, Pfeiffer Hall to make room for this new initiative.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
