Hood College’s Coffeehouse returned for its first study session
of the semester on Sept. 29, giving students a late-night space to study,
complete assignments and socialize in Coblentz Dining Hall.
The event, hosted by Hood’s Residence Life and sponsored by the
Black Student Union, was held from 9 to 11 p.m. Students were provided with
coffee, tea and hot chocolate while they worked on assignments or used the
space to study.
The event was advertised as a “Black & Mild Study Lounge,” a
name chosen to create a relaxed, late-night atmosphere for students. Natanie
Kosh, president of the Black Student Union, said the name was intended to
reflect the calming atmosphere organizers wanted to create while still representing
the Black Student Union.
“I wanted the event to give late night vibes, kind of jazzy,”
Kosh said.
Coffeehouse is designed to provide students with a place to
work outside of their usual study environments while also giving them an
opportunity to spend time with other students. Around 15 students attended the
event.
The return of the event gives students a recurring option for
late-night studying and socializing on campus. With drinks available throughout
the evening, students can work on assignments in a different space and take a
break from their routines.
Coffeehouse will continue every Tuesday from 9 to 11 p.m. in
Coblentz Dining Hall. The weekly schedule of the event allows students to
attend throughout the semester and provides a consistent late-night study space
on campus.
