NEW DINING FACILITY TO BE NAMED COUGAR WOODS DINING HALL
Houston, Sept. 13, 2012 – It’s official. By popular
vote, the new dining hall on the corner of Wheeler
and Cullen will be named Cougar Woods Dining Hall.
Students, faculty, staff and friends of the University of
Houston voted Aug. 27-31 for their favorite of three
finalist names. Cougar Woods, The Roar and West
End were the top three choices from the hundreds of
names submitted by the UH community during the
Spring 2012 semester.
The votes were tallied from both Facebook and
Survey Monkey, and Cougar Woods held a strong
lead with 49 percent. Beth Owens Woods submitted
the winning name idea. She will receive a bicycle and a plaque commemorating her name choice
in the new dining hall as a reward.
