We're looking for a Gaeltastic nickname for the Alioto Recreation Center opening in Spring 2015. (Joseph L. Alioto Recreation Center doesn't exactly roll easily off the tongue.) Got any catchy ideas? Share them below by midnight, Monday, Nov. 17 and you might win some great Gael goodies. Be sure to include your email address to be entered into the drawing.

Need inspiration? Learn more about the Alioto Recreation Center, watch the latest construction video update, check out photos and learn about the building's namesake as the center comes to life.

We will pick three top entries and then come back to the SMC community for a vote, with a final decision announced Monday, Dec. 1. If your nickname is chosen, you get to see your nickname become the official Rec Center hashtag, plus a stone paver with your name and nickname will live forever in the Rec Center Plaza. Prize packs will go to the three finalists, plus one random submitter.

To leave an enduring legacy while supporting student health, wellness and recreational activities, consider purchasing a personalized stone paver for the Recreation Center's plaza for as little as $500, $1,000 or $2,500.

The Center will also provide more than 100 on-campus student jobs. Current openings include recreation facility supervisor, recreation services assistant, fitness assistant, fitness instructor and lifeguard.
