Loke Hall Resources
Loke Hall has several resources available to students. These resources tackle a number of difficulties students may face and provides them with the tools to succeed. From academic resources to mental wellness resources, we make sure to provide our students with the best care. A majority of these resources are available during regular hours of operation with a few exceptions.
The Brave Space is a community space that serves historically marginalized students. This space contains many other resources and provides a safe space for these students to exist. This community space has a TV, computers, study rooms, comfortable seating, and tables for studying. The student organization offices of AAPIC, Alliance, BSO, and LIVE are also in this room as well.
Windows computers are available to students both in the study rooms and in the Brave Space. These computers require a student login to be used. They also connect to a black-and-white printer in the Brave Space that is available for students to use. This printer can be accessed through Papercut.
A private conference room is available. The conference room has eight chairs but can fit more if needed. A computer and a whiteboard is available in the space.
All three of the bathrooms in Loke Hall are gender-neutral to ensure that all gender non-conforming students feel safe and welcome.
Loke Hall has a kitchen available for students to use. This kitchen contains a refrigerator, a small stove, a microwave, a sink, and a coffeemaker. Utensils are also available for use.
