Opened in Fall 2022, the Graduate Student Lounge is a space for graduate students to connect with one another in a relaxed environment and attend events that are geared toward the graduate student audience. The space offers a billiards and shuffleboard table, comfortable furniture, TVs, various board games and a kitchenette.
The Lounge is accessible to any grad student with an active Buzzcard. Graduate Lounge and Programs Assistants, or GLPAs are grad students who staff the space and support the Graduate Program Advisor through events and program planning. Join our mailing list or follow us on Instagram to stay informed on the many ways we are serving the graduate population.

Reserving the Graduate Lounge

All reservations must be graduate student-centered and be reserved by graduate student registered organizations (RSO) or departments in which the programming is benefiting the graduate community. Closed events are limited to preserve accessibility to the community during peak busy times.
