WCCC will re-brand Bushy Run Center to identify more strongly with Murrysville

The Bushy Run Center is getting a new name and a new director.

As part of a school-wide effort to link the college more closely with the communities where it has a presence, the center will be re-christened as Westmoreland County Community College-Murrysville.

“'Bushy Run Center' doesn't really tell you where it is,” said WCCC President Tuesday Stanley. “When we opened the Latrobe and New Kensington centers in previous years, the names referenced the area. So we've renamed this as well.”

In addition, Tameka King-Buchak will take over as the center's director.

The official grand “re-opening” will be Aug. 10 at the center, 6706 Mellon Road, Murrysville.

“Right now, we're getting the sign re-done,” Stanley said. “And when we print up materials for fall, they will have the Murrysville center name on them.”

On Aug. 5 and 12, the main campus in Youngwood will host “Rock Enroll,” an open enrollment event, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The event provides one stop for everything new and returning students need to register for fall classes, which start Aug. 21.

New students will get help completing the no-fee application for admission. They may also complete the placement assessment and are asked to bring their official high school transcript.
