“We provide Social Sciences students and others a place to talk to advisers regarding
General Education courses and graduation requirements for majors. We help students
on academic probation get back on track. We offer workshops on how to apply to graduate
school and write essays. We have two breakout rooms for advisers to work with students.
We also try to stay open during finals week as a quiet place to study.”
