chancellor martin and it is scheduled to host full time classes next year.
- 06:19 - 06:22
And let's go to the last slide James C. Rennick. Um
- 06:23 - 06:26
This question was which one which building should be named after him?
- 06:26 - 06:30
I think it should be the academic classroom building um should be named after him.
- 06:30 - 06:33
My reasoning is pretty simple.
- 06:33 - 06:36
He has a big impact on the university and the academic classroom building is
- 06:36 - 06:39
one of the few buildings on campus without a real name attached to it.
- 06:43 - 06:47
