Dr. Daniel A. Asquino Building

SECTION 184.   The STEM building at Mount Wachusett Community College in the city of Gardner shall be designated and known as the Dr. Daniel M. Asquino building in honor of Dr. Daniel M. Asquino for his 3 decades of service as president of Mount Wachusett Community College, during which time he established the college as a state and national leader in the areas of workforce development and economic development, dual enrollment and Kindergarten through grade 12 partnerships, civic engagement and service learning, veteran services and renewable energy and sustainability. The department of capital asset management and maintenance shall erect and maintain suitable markers bearing the designation in compliance with the standards of the department.
 

Veto Explanation:
I am vetoing this section because building names for facilities that are on the campuses of community colleges are approved through a process administered by the Board of Higher Education, and should not be done through the legislative process.
