The University of Toledo will celebrate the opening of the new Center for Advocacy and Student Experience with a ribbon cutting and open house event on Tuesday, Nov. 1.

The new center, located in Thompson Student Union Room 2518, brings together several areas in the Division of Student Affairs in a newly remodeled space to connect students to services in times of need.

UToledo President Gregory Postel, Vice President of Student Affairs and Dean of Students Sammy Spann and other campus leaders will make remarks and cut the ribbon at 11 a.m.

“The new Center for Advocacy and Student Experience reflects our increased focus on supporting our students’ sense of belonging on campus,” Spann said. “When a student needs help with anything at all, we want them to come here first. Our team will personally connect them to all the areas of support we have available across UToledo.”
