Quiet/ Prayer Room in SmitH

We understand that students may want to take additional space throughout our event for breaks, religious observations, or other individual needs. We encourage you to take care of yourself and take breaks throughout each day as needed.  Quiet Prayer & Meditation Lounge is located in the Smith Memorial Student Union Basement, room 047. There will also be a space on the 3rd floor that will be designated as a quiet room - more information to come.
