The Student Center enhances University spirit and helps to create University culture as the focal point for all students. Students are engaged in our liberal arts community through various opportunities of participation, such as hanging out in the building with friends, eating a meal, using the bookstore, attending meetings with faculty and staff for advising and other official business, attending a social, cultural or educational event, or as a member of a student organization.
Upper Level
The Atrium Lobby is a great place to sit and watch TV, take in an entertainer on the main stage, grab a bite to eat, head to the bookstore, or hang out between classes. Seating includes couches in lounges and tables and chairs for dining in and around the bookstore, the food court, the information desk, and the "main street" of the building.
The Bookstore is operated by Barnes and Noble and has the feel of a store you would find in a local mall. From textbooks to best sellers, from supplies to snacks, from school shirts to greeting cards, this bookstore has everything you need.
The Food Court is operated by Chartwells Corporation and features the latest offerings in healthy food options along with the traditional fare. From a "grab and go" section to individually prepared meals, you will have the variety and options to try something different all the time.
Located in the center of the building, the Information Desk is staffed whenever the building is open with employees trained and ready to assist you with all aspects of building services.
