New Student Lounge Alert!

Need a place to relax, connect, or take a break between classes? Our new Student Lounge is now open in Room 525!

We’ve also added a quiet study space beside the offices for students who need a calm place to focus and get some work done 🤫

Please help us keep these spaces available by cleaning up after yourself and taking care of the lounge. If the space is not kept clean, the lounge will be taken away. Let’s work together to keep it open for everyone! ❤️
