Graduate Student Lounge

The Graduate Student Lounge was created from a former machine room by Daren Krebsbach and a number of graduate students with funds raised by faculty, staff and students. The Graduate Student Lounge has a number of comfortable couches and chairs, a fridge, a microwave, sink, coffee makers, table to eat a meal at and a piano donated by Dr. Wittie. It also has a number of board games and magazines, an xbox game machine and a TV for graduate students needing distraction.

Graduate students are encouraged to socialize in the lounge. It's a pleasant room that helps students find creature comforts away from the days work. Grad Lounge is maintained as a "cooperative effort" of all CS graduate students.

The membership of the lounge is open to only the graduate students and the faculty members of the Computer Science Department. There is a fee of $10 for the entire year (or $5 for a semester). However, the lounge membership depends on two simple conditions:

• You need to be considerate of other members.
• You have to take personal interest in maintaining the lounge in good shape whenever you use it.
