L&S Dean’s Ambassadors is a select group that helps the dean see L&S through students’ eyes. We love these students’ willingness to share their wisdom and their experience with us! Recently, we asked them to name their favorite spaces on campus. The results are eye-opening!
Shilpa Maddikunta
Location: The Red Gym
Unit: The Multicultural Center
"I love the Red Gym because of its history and how it houses many important programs. The Multicultural Center is an amazing space and has so many resources for everyone, especially POC (People of Color) which is is extremely important for creating community in a PWI (Predominantly White Institution)."
Olivia Masterson
Location: Chemistry Tower
Department: Department of Chemistry
"The new Chemistry Tower provides students with a beautiful and spacious place to study. From reservable study rooms to common places, this building is a great place to go before or after classes to prepare for exams or finish homework."
Kayley Seow
Location: Hamel Music Center
Department: Mead Witter School of Music
"My favorite L&S spot has to be the concert hall inside the Hamel Music Center, preferably onstage with the Tuesday night University Band. Being part of an ensemble, knowing how much hard work and practice must be put in leading up to every performance on the stage, be it from various faculty, ensembles, or students, gives it a special place in my heart."
James Dowd
Location: Chemistry Tower
Department: Department of Chemistry
"My favorite location that's part of the College of Letters & Science is the new Chemistry Tower because of the color themes throughout the building, as well as the architecture and design catered towards the students. The building promotes a very productive environment for studying and collaboration and is my number one spot to go since it opened!"
Colton Mansavage
Location: Vilas Hall Integrated Media Center
Department: Department of Communication Arts
"Being a film student, the Vilas Hall IMC (Integrated Media Center) is my go-to spot for late night editing. There are always fun people working there and funny poll questions to fill out every week!"
Ella Martell
Location: Chemistry Tower
Department: Department of Chemistry
"My favorite L&S spot is the Chemistry Tower. There’s lots of open space to study, and the new lecture halls make taking notes much more convenient."
