| DISCUSSION ITEMS: | |||
| Question | Person(s) Responsible | Notes and Next Steps | |
| How to disseminate information to students about evening study spaces (Tech Ed & STEM)? | Angela Milano |
- Students have requested that faculty announce the availability of study spaces. Consider having the Academic Senate assist with dissemination. - Possible idea: Coordinate with the Public Information Office (PIO) to promote study space availability. HomeBases can manage logistics such as operating hours, after-hours access, and designated quiet study times. - Signage is needed to clearly identify and designate study areas. |
