Howard Community College Dedicates New Atrium to Rotary Clubs

The Rotary Clubs of Howard County have a new place bearing their name.

Recently, Howard Community College dedicated the atrium at its Health Sciences Building to the seven local chapters of the international service organization, with a ceremony to unveil the new lettering.

The $50.6 million building opened on the campus off Little Patuxent Parkway in January 2013.

The Rotary Clubs of Howard County—which includes the Clarksville, Columbia, Columbia Town Center, Columbia Patuxent, Elkridge, Ellicott City and Ellicott City Sunrise chapters—were recognized for their contributions to the Howard Community College Educational Foundation, which funds scholarships and grants for students.

“Members from every county club supported this effort, knowing that the college is building the workforce of the future and contributing to the local economy,” Ken Solow, district governor-elect of Rotary District 7620, said.

“Our employees are members, our students are beneficiaries of their scholarships, and now the newly named Rotary Clubs of Howard County Atrium honors this legacy,” said Dr. Kate Hetherington, president of Howard Community College.
