STUDENT UNION BUILDING GRAND OPENING

On January 23, 2007 ULM held a grand opening for the renovated SUB (Student Union Building) and its companion building, the Student Center.

During the ceremonies, ULM president James E. Cofer Sr., made a special presentation to Mrs. Yvonne Anderson, the first female Student Council president of then Northeast Junior College in 1945-46. Anderson was presented with a framed photo of the Student Council from the 1946 Chachahoula.

Campus Activities Board representative Micah Pulliam presented the 75th Anniversary time Capsule to be opened at the University’s Centennial celebration in 2031. The time capsule includes memorabilia from the 75th Anniversary celebration, fact books on the university, and a scroll signed by the faculty, staff and students in 2006.

ULM's National Champion Water Ski team were also honored.

After the ceremonies tours of the SUB and Student Center, along with delicious samples of the various food court vendors, were made available to all.
