No, not really, they went with the Annie Lennox Building in the end.Lennox has been Chancellor of the university since 2018 and officially opened the building while she was in Glasgow for this year’s graduation ceremonies.“It’s an incredible honour to have such a wonderful building on the Glasgow Caledonian University campus named after me”, says the musician. “I’m looking forwards to taking part in GCU’s graduation ceremonies this week in person, after the last two years, when the only way we could connect was via Zoom.
I’m so proud of all the graduates, who’ve coped brilliantly with all the extra challenges, to finally succeed in reaching their goals and achievements”.GCU Principal Prof Pamela Gillies adds: “Glasgow Caledonian University is extremely fortunate to have Dr Lennox as its Chancellor. Her passion, wisdom, guidance and support for our community, especially through the recent challenges of the pandemic, have been transformative”.The building, if you were wondering, was previously named the Hamish Wood Building, after a former professor at the university who died in 2009.

As extreme heat takes hold across the U.S., Stephen Colbert managed to find some humor in it, throwing out barbs for each side of the nation’s coasts during his Wednesday night “The Late Show” monologue.“Today in New York City, temperatures hit a high of 96 of degrees, what meteorologists call hotter than the devil’s grundle,” Colbert said, before wondering aloud, “Can I say ‘grundle’ on CBS? I don’t know if I can.”He certainly did say that word, and then went on to show a photo of a hair-free muppet in his next joke.“It is so hot in the city, Time’s Square had a naked cowboy and a shaved Elmo,” the late night funnyman quipped, flashing a photo on screen of the altered Sesame Street character, which you can see in the video above.Since the weather has been one of the biggest stories in the nation, the host had plenty of material to pull from to make jokes about the West Coast.“Out West, the extreme heat comes with a side of drought,” he began. “California has imposed water restrictions this year, including one that limits outdoor watering to only one day a week.

The New York City Council have approved an application to rename the corner of Ludlow Street and Rivington Street on the Lower East Side of Manhattan “Beastie Boys Square.” Efforts to pay homage to the long-running rap trio in that location — where the cover photo of their critically acclaimed 1989 album Paul’s Boutique was taken — since shortly after the death of one of their founding members, Adam “MCA” Yauch, in 2012.
