New Scholars Commons:

The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) is happy to announce that as of January 20, 2016 there is a new Scholars Commons that the UT Libraries has constructed for graduate students! The space combines silent study space, a data lab, and a communal area for graduate students to collaborate.

UT’s Libraries has created this space especially for graduate students. GSA hopes to see this space utilized over the current pilot period so that we can consider an expansion of graduate student space in the libraries in the future!
