Levering Lounge opens as new study spot
Reporting about the SGA, not a record of it: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter published this and the SGA did not write it, file it, or approve it. The archive holds it because the article itself uses the phrases “sga” and “student government”.
Summary
- This News-Letter article reports on the renovated Levering Lounge replacing the HopStop as a study space.
- The paper reported that Dean Susan Boswell said the lounge was created to provide another study area while Gilman and the HUT were unavailable.
- The article says Paula Burger proposed the idea to student groups, including the SGA and HOP, and to faculty members including Boswell.
- The reporter writes that the administration and the SGA agreed the HopStop was not being used by most students; SGA President Prasanna Chandrasekhar said students had mainly been using it to study and relax.
- The paper reported that students began using the lounge more than they had used the HopStop, and Boswell said it was serving a need.
- The article adds that the lounge closes at midnight on weeknights and 2 a.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, with plans to keep the building open 24 hours during finals.
