Playing video games at the student center is one of the ways students from different departments can come together to pass time.

Dominic Cannavino, Business major, plays Dark Souls 3 with his friend Bryce Harper, Law major, while they wait to attend their next class. “Life is too serious and video games help me relax,” said Cannavino.

Jacob Hull, Biotech major, also spends time at the student center playing video games. His favorite games to play are Mortal Kombat X and Jump Force. Despite his enjoyment of video games, Hull doesn’t hesitate to put down his controller and enjoy some time away from the screen when his friends want to hang out. read more

A feasibility study was conducted to give school officials an idea of what the campus may need to address certain student life issues. The results of the feasibility study were then taken and turned into feedback of what students like and don’t like.  read more
