| Initiative Title | Biology Student Lounge |
|---|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2020 |
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Unlike some departments the Biology Department has no informal space where students can gather for social as well as educational interaction. The Department sees merit in creating such a space where students could bond with each other and with faculty in an informal educational setting. We propose the creation of a new entrance directly from the outer hall so students could enter and leave without disturbing normal BATCAVERN activities We envision that such a facility could lead to enhanced retention as students develop stronger interpersonal bonds with peers and faculty alike. |
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Biology students and, in particular, students in Biology Club activities will not have a convenient site to meet and interact in such a manner that strengthens interpersonal bonds as well as commitments to their educational goals. Additionally, such an informal gathering place would permit enhanced interaction with faculty members allowing students to be better connected and informed of educational opportunities via mentoring. |
