About
The Diversity & Inclusion Committee's Communication and Programming Subcommittee, with the support of Senior Leadership, is committed to creating inclusive spaces for both employees and students. We created Lactation and Meditations rooms where students and employees who needed to use them could do so in privacy and comfort.
Outcomes
These rooms provide private spaces for library and campus employees and our patrons for lactation, meditation, and other personal needs.
Success
Success will be assessed by how many people are aware of and utilize these spaces. There is also the option of a QR code in the rooms where users could provide feedback and ideas for improvement.
