The Berry-Bowden Grand Finale, combined with The Pursuit, is scheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 10 from 5:30 p.m.-8 p.m. in Fant-Ewing Coliseum.

Construction of The University of Louisiana Monroe's new student building, The HUB, is scheduled to begin by July 1. The HUB is being built at the corner of Northeast Drive and University Avenue. The facility is slated to open for the Fall 2022 semester.

The $11.6-million facility is a partnership with Aramark, which provides food services at ULM. Aramark will invest $6 million in the project, with the remainder coming from student facilities fees.

The HUB will be a contemporary two-story, 23,000-plus square-foot facility with seating for more than 600.

A new approach to learning needs a new kind of classroom. 

That's the belief of Glenn Anderson, Pharm.D., Dean of the University of Louisiana Monroe's College of Pharmacy. He took that belief, and a magazine article, to Greg Andrews, ULM's classroom and audio-visual coordinator. 

He pointed to a picture accompanying the article about an active learning classroom in Cincinnati and told Andrews, "I want this." Andrews and Pharmacy manager of technology services Marcia Wells delivered.

ULM President Ron Berry and BPCC Chancellor Rick Bateman Jr. signed a memorandum of understanding in June.
