Seven months ago, UMBC was named as the #1 up-and-coming national university by U.S. News & World Report. Now one UMBC committee wants to ensure that our reputation for quality and flair for innovation are evident to the users of campus facilities. To that end, the University Council on Grounds and Structures has announced that in August 2011, The Commons will be given a new name that better reflects the distinctiveness of UMBC's faculty, staff and student body: The Uncommons.
Committee chair Richard Astley shows off some remarkable Uncommons graphics explains the reasoning behind the change here.
