The Graduate Lounge is a great space to interact with other grads in a casual, recreational environment. All reservations must be graduate student-centered and be reserved by graduate student registered organizations (RSO) or departments in which the programming is benefiting the graduate community.  Closed events are limited to preserve accessibility to the community during peak busy times.
