Venue description

The Department of Languages, Literature and Philosophy has established a lounge for faculty and for students majoring and minoring in programs within the department. The lounge is located across the hall from the Department's Humanities Building offices, in room 103, the former conference room. The room provides comfortable seating, and relaxing environment, and a station for making coffee and tea. A magnetic bulletin board provides a mechanism for students to post notices and messages. It is hoped that the space will facilitate interaction among students and between students and faculty. The room also contains the original table so that space can serve a dual purpose as lounge and conference room. The idea for the lounge emanated from the student and faculty focus groups that were conducted during the Department's self-study for the Academic Audit last year. The design and implementation for the project were carried out by Dr. Doris Daniels, Dr. Anna Rueda-Garcia, Dr. Helen Houston, and Dr. Timothy Quain. Faculty in the department will maintain the coffee and tea service.
