Our School of Education is facing a unique opportunity to听consider community nominations for听the honorary renaming of our campus building.听

Our school moved to a听newly renovated campus home听in 2020. As the next phase of the remodel and fundraising efforts听continue, we have听a historic opportunity to听rename听our building currently known as the Fleming Building,听a name that belonged to a former Law School Dean from when the building housed the Law School.

Together with a committee of alumni, donors, faculty, staff and students,听we have established an honorary听naming nomination process, and we invite you to submit nominations by听Monday,听Nov. 28, 2022.听
