In return for such a generous gift, the entire building, old and new, was officially proclaimed the Donald Core Tangeman University Center, in memory of Mrs. Tangeman's son. Donald Tangeman's portrait and an excerpt of a letter written to his parents shortly before his company shipped out to sea were put on display in TUC so that all could appreciate the brave soldier who gave his life for his country. Today, as UC prepares for the massive renovation that will transform TUC once again, take a few moments to appreciate the history that helped shape the union and the university. Remember how many students of days long past walked the very same halls and in the very same manner as we do today. We still drop by TUC to grab a cup of coffee and a bite to eat while we catch up on news from friends.
Students still check out the bulletin boards for notices and announcements.
The center was, and still is, a center of activity on campus. The new building will carry on that tradition, but the foundations were laid many years ago.
