The Division of Student Affairs is excited to announce a unified department name for the University Union, Gateway Center, Coliseum, and Student Affairs at Discovery Park.

“We are excited about having a department name that aligns with the services we provide to the university and community,” said Wendy Denman, Executive Director of the University Union. “We also believe having a unified name will provide more clarity to those we serve in knowing that we are one department.”

These areas have been functioning as one department with a shared mission, purpose, standards, and values, but have been referred to by the building names. While building names will not change, the new unified department name is University Centers & Events (UCE).

“The name is very fitting, as all of our areas put on and manage events and serve as central locations that are multifunctional,” said Denman.
