The naming of a campus building, facility, and/or part of a campus building or facility at East Central Community College (ECCC) shall be considered one of the highest awards possible from the College. The intention of bestowing such an honor will be to place in the public eye truly deserving persons or entities who/which will be permanently associated with ECCC. In so much as possible, the name selected for a campus building or facility or part of a campus building or facility shall be in keeping with the function of the building or facility, and shall reflect a careful match between the person(s) for whom the building or facility is to be named and its purpose and function.
Any individual or entity that has made significant and/or long-standing contributions to ECCC is eligible for consideration. Individuals may include, but are not limited to, former faculty, staff, or administrators; alumni; former members of the Board of Trustees; or private citizens. The process of selection for this honor shall be exempt from the pressures of families, politics, and friendships.
