Oakley Resource Center
Mission Statement:
The mission of our center is to assess the concerns of the student body in order to address personal, professional, and academic needs through direct resources and programming. We work to address barriers that prevent full participation in campus life while also creating opportunities to build habits that contribute to success.
Study Lounge
Located in our main suite, Suite C102, on the first floor of the building, the Oakley Study Lounge offers a quiet and comfortable place to study with less traffic than some of our traditional study spaces. The study lounge is open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
