Learning Center renamed in honor of Holland family

The Wayne State College Learning Center has been renamed the Holland Academic Success Center in honor of Marge and Bill Holland.

The Holland Center remains in the same space in the lower level of the Student Center and will continue with the same services. An official dedication was held during the 2011 Homecoming festivities on Oct. 7.

Bill and Marge Holland have lived their lives with a commitment to education and service to community. Marge was employed at WSC from 1979-1989 as the director of the Learning Center, which was known as the Teaching Learning Center at that time. They continue to remain active in promoting and supporting this program. The Hollands have been loyal financial supporters of WSC and active trustees of the Wayne State Foundation since 1995.

The Learning Center has been renamed the Holland Academic Success Center to recognize the Holland's significant impact on student success at Wayne State College.
