BLCC: Open for Business for 25 Weeks

On Monday afternoon, representatives of Mays Business School held a conference to recognize 25 weeks of exceptionally adequate service provided by the Business Library and Collaboration Commons (BLCC) to students at Mays.

Formerly known as West Campus Library, the 25-year-old site was renamed to BLCC in the fall of 2019 so the institution could focus on serving the Mays Business School.

During the conference, Dr. Eli Jones, dean of the business school, shared his appreciation for the library’s impact on campus. “We would like to thank all receptionists, librarians, Chartwells employees, and certified attendance trackers of the BLCC for their service to the students of this university, but only on behalf of those enrolled in the business school,” Jones said.

“Our goal is to celebrate the success of business students and to remind all other majors that, although they are permitted to study here, it is not encouraged,” Jones said. He went on to explain that despite being used by students outside of Mays, the business school would be claiming ownership from this point forward.

Representatives also emphasized how opportunities for creative marketing efforts were made possible through this accomplishment.
