You can join Mentor Lounge Hours each week from 3-5 pm on Fridays OR schedule one-on-one meetings with EAP mentors throughout the semester. 

Global Resource Lounge Hours

The Global Resource Lounge (Jenks Hall 100) is open every day from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. On Fridays from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m., EAP mentors host special lounge hours designed to bring our community together.

The first hour (3-4 pm) is a relaxed space where you can study, work on papers, practice presentations, learn new English expressions, or simply hang out with friends.

The second hour (4-5 pm) is an open conversation on global issues and current events, where both students, faculty, and staff are invited to share ideas and perspectives. Come join us, bring your curiosity, and enjoy learning from one another in a friendly and supportive space.

You can use this form to submit the global news you would like to discuss.
