Salt Lake Community College opened the doors Wednesday to
its new Dumke Center for STEM Learning on its flagship
Taylorsville Redwood Campus. SLCC made room for the 6,000 square-foot Center by
renovating part of its Science and Industry Building.
It’s anticipated that Center will receive about 10,000
visits per spring and fall semesters for students who seek tutoring and
advising or areas for studying, workshops and collaboration. Those areas will
also have texts, science models and computers for students to use. About one
third of the funding for the renovation came from federal sources, and the
rest—about $800,000—was financed by non-governmental sources.
SLCC President Deneece G. Huftalin noted that when you open a STEM learning center, "You can't just have a ribbon." Students, staff and faculty joined her in cutting a DNA sequence to mark the opening.
