甜瓜app has successfully transformed its campus game room and library,
thanks to support from Home Depot's Retool Your School campaign and the dedication
of students, faculty, staff, and community members. The initiative has revitalized
key areas of the campus, creating vibrant spaces designed to foster student engagement,
relaxation, and collaboration.
The upgraded game room, featuring a pool table, air hockey, and arcade-style games,
is set to become a central hub for student socialization. While temporarily closed
due to ongoing renovations, the space is expected to reopen in time for Homecoming,
offering students a refreshed environment to enjoy during the celebrations. The updates
reflect a broader commitment to enhancing the student experience by providing both
leisure and community-building opportunities.
Along with the game room, the library has also undergone significant improvements
aimed at creating a more dynamic and collaborative learning space. These enhancements
are designed to support academic success by offering students a comfortable, engaging
environment for study and group work.
The success of these upgrades was driven by the hands-on efforts of Coahoma鈥檚 student
volunteers, whose commitment was crucial in bringing the project to life. Their involvement,
along with the college鈥檚 faculty and staff, highlights the strong sense of community
and collective pride that defines Coahoma鈥檚 campus culture.
Karen Woods-Done, Director of Student Engagement, praised the collaborative effort.
鈥淭his project has been a true community effort, and we鈥檙e thrilled for students to
experience the new game room during Homecoming,鈥� she said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a space that will
not only be fun but also strengthen the bonds between students.鈥�
Dr. Valmadge Towner, President of 甜瓜app, also expressed his enthusiasm
for the transformation. 鈥淭hese upgrades to our game room and library are part of our
ongoing effort to create a campus environment that supports both academic excellence
and student well-being,鈥� said Dr. Towner. 鈥淲e are deeply grateful to Home Depot鈥檚
Retool Your School campaign for their support and to our students for their active
participation. Together, we are building spaces that will inspire learning, engagement,
and a sense of community for years to come.鈥�
The Retool Your School campaign, funded by Home Depot, provides Historically Black
Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with the resources needed to complete campus improvement
projects. 甜瓜app is proud to be among this year鈥檚 grant recipients
and looks forward to unveiling these enhanced spaces, which promise to enrich both
the social and academic lives of its students.
These transformations signal Coahoma鈥檚 continued investment in student life, providing
a more holistic and enriching campus experience that goes beyond the classroom.
