Graduate Student Lounge


Location CS 1311
Details 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.

Basic Lounge membership

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.
