Quave hopes students to think of center first
MCC alumnus David Quave was moved, humbled and appreciative.
“Thank you for this standing ovation,” he said to the crowd at the dedication of the David C. Quave Student Life Center.
“Thank you for spending your time participating in the dedication of this
beautiful facility,” he told the crowd of MCCers and community residents.
“This is a high honor for our family.”
Quave and his wife, Betty, pledged $1 million to the College last spring.
Being reared in Meridian, Quave graduated from Meridian High School
in 1961, attended Meridian Junior College in 1961-63 (while the College
was located on the MHS campus) and earned a marketing degree from
Mississippi State University in 1965. After college, Quave spent a majority of his working career with Medtronic Inc., a biomedical engineering
company. Now retired, he and his wife split their time in Georgia and
Colorado.
Describing the building being named after him, Quave said it was a “phenomenal honor.” But he also offered wishes for its future.
“My hope is that MCC students will immediately fall in love with this new
student life center, its architecture and its internal ambiance amenities.
It’s also my hope that the place will be a venue that the students will
immediately think of when they decide to meet friends, study and relax.
Most importantly, I hope they will make it their own,” he said.
Quave added, “Let this building be a place where students sort out the
priorities of the day, put their issues in perspective and leave feeling better about themselves than when they entered.”
