History
Since 2003, the building has borne the name of President Emerita Rebecca Stafford (1993 – 2003). Throughout her 10-year tenure, Dr. Stafford oversaw a variety of changes that bolstered the school’s ability to offer quality educational experiences, including its attainment of university status in 1995. “I am so honored and flattered to have my name on the student center,” commented Dr. Stafford. “The students have always been what we cared about the most and why we are here.
