Are you missing your friends and family? The MacVittie College Union is your home away from home. As the center of the college campus, the Union serves as a place of socialization, learning, and above all, community. When you walk through the Union, you will notice students studying, chatting with friends, learning more about clubs and events at the lobby tables, and just simply hanging out. The sense of community is strong within these walls and students can’t help but be emerged in the “daily buzz” that is going on around them as they walk through. Although you don’t NEED a specific purpose for entering the union, there are many reasons to stop by:
1.) Starbucks. As the weather begins to turn colder, who doesn’t love a tall hot chocolate or a pumpkin spice latte? It’s a great place to study or socialize with friends in between classes.
2.) GOLD Workshops. There are a variety of one hour workshops held each day in the College Union. The opportunities for further leadership development are endless through this program.
3.) Geneseo Bookstore. Looking for a gift? Have some extra cash to spend? Forgot something at home? Want to rep the latest Geneseo gear? Look no further than the bookstore. This is the only place on campus to purchase apparel, supplies, books, and health care items all in one place!
4.) Mailroom. Stop by to pick up a letter or package from your friends, family or relatives.
5.) Daytime Programming. The Union serves as a location for clubs and organizations to meet, as well as a location for events to occur during the school day! Looking for something to do on a Wednesday afternoon? Stop by the GLK lobby table from 2:30-3:30. You will most likely find yourself participating in a FREE and fun craft, game, or giveaway!
Last week, representatives from different offices in the Union participated in a pumpkin carving contest.
6.) Concierge Desk. Here you can find tons of fun things that can be loaned out with your student ID to occupy your free time. Laptops, bikes, sports equipment and more!
These are only six of an unlimited number of things to do within the MacVittie College Union. Students love to be a part of all that is offered here and are welcomed by its feeling of community and involvement. As the MacVittie logo suggests, we are the heart of the campus–all you need to do is take a step inside to find your place within it!
