A little Student Life Lounge glow-up!

Same space, brand new vibe. From before to AFTER, the Student Life Lounge got a fresh new look designed to be a place where you can hang out, recharge, study, or just take a break between classes.

We’re missing Disorientation Week already 💛

A week full of new memories, new faces, and plenty of Mountain Lion energy. From singing along with American Authors to line dancing at Campus RoundUp and getting creative at Paint, Craft, & Listen, these are just a few of the moments we’re still thinking about.

And there was so much more in between! SummerFest, Commuter Day, Western Trivia, and more kept the memories going all week long.

Thank you to everyone who showed up, made new connections, tried something different, and spent part of your first week back to school with us. 💛

Disorientation Week 2026, we’ll miss you. Until next time, Mountain Lions!
