Veterans Lounge
Veterans, like most people, flourish in environments with those who understand their background and training. Assumption University worked with student-Veterans and faculty-Veterans on the design and outfitting of a Veterans lounge. The lounge was designed to provide a central space on campus where Veterans can study, meet with other Veterans, and feel comfortable in an environment that is supportive of their needs.
The Veterans Lounge is located in the Information Technology Center, Room 125 and 126.
