Lounge Spaces

Multicultural Space

The Multicultural Space offers students a comfortable lounge to hang out, hold meetings, host events, and relax and recharge between or after classes. The Multicultural Space is open to anyone in the campus community interested in connecting with students from backgrounds different than their own. For student organizations to reserve the space for private meetings or events, please follow instructions through the Presence portal managed within the Center for Student Involvement. Events provided within the Multicultural space are designed to honor and celebrate the numerous Multicultural identities within our Spider community.
