After over a decade since the idea of renaming Douglas Hall was first brought to the university’s attention, the residence hall will be renamed Powell-Norton Hall. The change follows a unanimous vote by the Board of Trustees to approve the rename Friday afternoon. The name honors both Zella Powell and Ona Norton, two Black women.
The Resident Hall Association concluded their neighborhood week with a boat race at the Campus Pond at 6 p.m. on Thursday. The boat race is an annual tradition held to conclude the Neighborhood Week. This year’s theme was superhero based. All of the boats were designed based on different superheroes. Teams of the boat race.
