What is the Lounge?

A student sanctuary and multi-use space 

Soft launch: Year one (of 3) lounge activity

We established our practices, focused on creating the space, and hosted our first event

Goals and objectives

To create a sense of belonging for WVU students by providing

• a nurturing, student-centered multi-use space
• programming for self-expression and self-care
• resources for mental health
  • with support from the Women of WVU development fund
  • while including students in their mission to create a collective voice and give back
