Breastfeeding Room Change Location

Many students with children struggle to balance their academic responsibilities with their parenting duties. Providing a breastfeeding room in the library can help alleviate this challenge by offering a dedicated space where parents can care for their children while still having access to academic resources. This initiative addresses the unique needs and experiences of caregivers. The breastfeeding room demonstrates the institution's commitment to diversity and inclusivity by acknowledging and accommodating the needs of a diverse student population, including those with caregiving responsibilities.
