Welcome to the Winter 2025 term! We hope that everyone is keeping warm with the cold weather, and we're happy to see all of the new and familiar faces back on campus! Study hard and do your best!

   


The San Marcos LRC space is currently closed due to construction. Desktops and LRC books are still available for student use in Suite 140 by the reception area. The LRC will be moving to the second floor, and is estimated to reopen during the Summer 2025 quarter—however the opening date may change due to construction delays. Check back here for any updates! Please note that this message is only for the San Marcos LRC and other campus LRC spaces are still open.
