Your Name Here For $3 Million

Congrats to Montgomery College's Silver Spring/Takoma Park campus for landing a $3 million donation, its biggest score to date. The money goes to cover some of its new visual arts center's $33 million tab. In return, the benefactors get to hang their names over the Georgia Avenue building when it's finished in 2007, says the Washington Post.

Thankfully, there are still opportunities available to slap Aunt Sally's name somewhere on campus. A 500-seat theater is up for grabs at $2 million, while an art gallery and lobby are a steal at $500,000 each. I'm waiting for their preseason sale on commemorative urinals.
