Open Study Hours
A quiet place to study, eat snacks and build community
The AACC library (200 AH) is a designated area for students to study individually, in small groups, or take a break in between classes. The African American Cultural Center, along with campus partners, provide students with snacks, coffee, tea, and appliances (mini fridge, microwave, and toaster) to help create an inviting, safe place for students.
Open Study is made possible by a coalition of campus partners committed to student success
