Student Life announces new offices in Union
By JAMES RAYMOND | Apr. 2, 2007After several expansions in recent years and open office space becoming harder to find for administrators and student groups alike in the Student Union, the office of Student Life - a division of Student Affairs - announced late Friday evening that a new department will soon be opening in place of the current seating outside of Putnam's dining area on the building's ground level.No students were present when the announcement was made.Vice President of Student Affairs Dennis Black told the press that although the new offices are slated for what is now popular student seating, arrangements will be made for the benefit of the entire UB community."Life is a journey, not a guided tour... in conjunction with the Student Association (SA) we will extend the SU theater hours and students will be able to eat and drink in the theater," Black said.Construction is slated to begin Tuesday and should be finished by the start of the fall semester, according to officials.
