Ribbon is cut at Medina Co. University Center
Leaders from UA, the state and Medina County gathered March 17 to ceremoniously open UA’s Medina County University Center. The center, which opened its doors to students in January, offers academic programs leading to associate and baccalaureate degrees, and workforce development programs that support local industry.
Below are some photos taken during the festivities.
Adorned with a ribbon, the building awaits the big day.
The ribbon is cut!
