Michigan Flag Raised on New Residence Hall April 21, 2008
Posted by Jack Kay in : Uncategorized , trackback21 April 2008, Murchie Science Building, University of Michigan-Flint campus, Flint, Michigan:
Drum roll. Eyes go to the maize and blue M-Flint flag unfurling in the wind on top of the new four-story University of Michigan-Flint residence hall. The University of Michigan-Flint Wind Symphony, under the direction of Professor Lois Alexander, plays a rousing rendition of “Hail to the Victors.”
Today’s press conference celebrated substantial completion of the exterior of the building, introduced the theme of the community that will begin on the August 24, 2008 move in day, allowed us to meet the RAs who will be nurturing the new community, and gave the media and the public an inside peak at the first floor of the building.
I had the pleasure of introducing Jeanine Bessette, our new Director of Housing and Residential Life, Quiana Smith, our Residence Hall Director, Deb Beattie, assistant in the Office of Housing and Residence Life, and Dr, Mary Jo Sekelsky, Vice Chancellor for Student Services and Enrollment Management. I thanked them for the great job they have been doing in preparing for a great residential life experience for our new 24/7 residents.
I also was proud to introduce Tim Herman, CEO of the Genesee Regional Chamber of Commerce and Mr. Art Hurrand, Honorary Chair of Partners for Progress.
We were all pleasantly surprised to be joined by Chancellor Emeritus Juan Mestas, the inspiration and relentless proponent of student housing for the University of Michigan-Flint.
