Creating a Modern Collaborative Learning Space

Giving Day Goal: $10,000

Supporting James White Library’s Cause
This Giving Day, we rally support for Creating a Modern Collaborative Learning Space. We plan to repurpose and update the Reference area as a modern collaborative space for peer-to-peer learning where students can work in small groups, engage in tutorials, solve problems, and participate in knowledge exchange. This space will support a new generation of students’ and faculty’s learning and research activities. The concept is a technology-rich space that can serve as maker spaces, group study spaces, academic learning spaces, and presentation rooms.
