Students can now study in the Big Muddy Room from 11 pm to 3am.

As the end of the semester closes in, study time becomes more and more important. Students challenged by distractions at residence halls or apartments can now seek refuge at the Student Center Big Muddy room.

From Dec. 2 to 12, the Student Center will allow students the opportunity to study from 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. in the Big Muddy Room, located in the basement of the Student Center. All students are welcome to attend and are encouraged to do so.

Doug Daggett, associate director of the Student Center, said the program was initiated to provide additional late night study areas for students.

The normal hours of the Student Center are still in place, and students wishing to take advantage of the late night study area in the Student Center must use the south entrance by Neckers Hall. All other doors will be locked.

Daggett also said that there will be dining services present at the study session, and students wishing access to refreshments should bring money. As well as an open study area for students, the Big Muddy Room also has 12 Ethernet connections available so students may log onto the Internet via laptop computers.

Since the study area is in the basement, people with mobility impairment should call ahead of time as to make the necessary arrangements regarding entrance and access to required materials and study areas.

Students with mobility impairment who want to study in the Big Muddy after building hours should call the Administrative office at 536-3351 between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to make arrangements for access, said Kathleen Plesko, director of Disability Support Services.

Morris library will also be open for extra hours this week.

The library will be open 24 hours a day except for Friday and Saturday. Those days the library will be open until midnight.
