Graduate Student Commons
The Graduate Student Commons (GSC) is a comfortable and welcoming space that serves a wide spectrum of graduate students and fosters graduate student interaction and a sense of community. The GSC promotes graduate student academic well-being, success, and camaraderie. It offers a variety of spaces, including small study rooms, computer terminals, and a lounge for social interaction. Students are welcome to drop in between classes where they may check email, hold office hours, attend or hold a meeting, or join a homework study group, for example.
