Whulshootseed Lounge
The Whulshootseed Lounge is open to all students, located in SU240. It features computers for student use, a TV for meetings, a Kid's Corner (see below), and a student kitchen!
To reserve the space for meetings, please contact Kiran Kaur at kkaur@greenriver.edu.
Kids Corner
There are often limited spaces for children on college campuses, which we understand can be a barrier for student parents. At ODEI, we offer a family-friendly rest stop where student parents can focus on their tasks while their children can play with our selection of toys, educational books, and sensory objects!
