Resources to Help Prepare You for Finals, in the Core

The Core building is a home to many rooms, organizations, and furniture to take those deserved naps on! Here's a list of all that the building provides for you to be successful in your studies, find the help you need, resources that can benefit you, and ways to relax and destress.

The SCAA is really the best place to go if you need help with almost anything to do with your classes. Papers, tutors, group study, or last minute-tutoring needs. You name it and the SCAA has it.

• And much, much more. Like, a lot more.

The Learning Commons can help you with all things technological! They work hard to provide accessible technology resources to students, faculty, and staff. They are the place to go if you have any tech issues with an assignment, your device, or your internet connection. Don't miss that zoom meeting, come to the learning commons!

• Resources include:

The Core wanted to provide a space for our students who are also parents, and have to fulfill both roles at the same time. In the family room, feel free to relax, do some homework, or go to a zoom class while your children play! The lactation room is open if you would prefer privacy. You go parents/caretakers!

Everyone always seems to find themselves tucked away in a little nook in this library. Whether it's on a soft lounge chair, a small cubicle, a nap on a couch, or in a study room with a friend. We all go to the Core for comfort, focus, and connections! Please enjoy our Core spaces for whatever YOU need ❤.

• Meditation Room:

The meditation room is one of the Core's best features in our opinion.

The meditation room is here and available for everyone to use. Stay mindful, quiet, and respectful 😊 .
