Subject: Student Culture and Engagement Hub Announces New Names for Student Spaces
Date: Oct 10, 2025

In an email to all University of Arizona students on Friday, Oct. 10, co-directors of the Student Culture & Engagement Hub, Dominique Calza and Kenny Importante, shared the following updates about three of our Campus Community Connections student spaces.

Students led the process, with guidance from the coordinators, for choosing new names reflecting the identities, histories and communities they represent. While the process varied across spaces, the methods included collecting suggestions for names from students through anonymous online surveys, in-person meetings and social media naming contests.

The final names, selected by students, honor the spirit of each student space while continuing our commitment to belonging, support and empowerment for all students. 

Here are the names that were chosen by students:

  • Omnes Disability Student Space (Omnes is the Latin word meaning "everybody" or "all")
  • MLK Dream Student Space
  • Lotus Lounge Student Space

SUMC 404 Student Space staff and their affiliated student council are currently engaging in an intentional process to rename their space.

The purpose of each space remains the same: providing a welcoming place where any student can connect, recharge and build community. 

These spaces, as well as the Adalberto & Ana Guerrero Student Space and the Women & Gender Student Space, are open for students to join an event, study, access support and resources, or simply be in community with others.
