The meditation room is meant to serve and support all students, staff members, and employees, and the holistic wellness of the college community. This space allows individuals of all religious faiths and non-religious beliefs to experience a place for peace, prayer, meditation, and/or reflection throughout the day. Scientific evidence points to meditation's many cognitive and physiological benefits. The space is for individual use, not for organized group activities or meetings.
