“We had our space before Davies Hall closed, but our division office was housed [there]. It’s been positive for us, because now faculty hang out in HomeBase, and we really want faculty involved. I would like to be in Davies, closer to our students, so when they get out of class they see the HomeBase. I think that it may be harder to find us… since we are so secluded it’s really hard to stumble upon us.” - Kaira Bradley | Language and Communication HomeBase Success Coach

“I’d say I get seven hours of sleep on a daily basis. It’s definitely beneficial when I get enough sleep, but the times that I don’t I feel like it’s a wasted day because my cognitive function goes down. It feels like brain fog.” - Rebecca Hughey | Psychology Major

“I wasn’t really a Kings fan, but I’ve been watching them lately and I went to a couple games and now I am actually happy about it.

“I’m a person who likes the sunny weather and I like to be outside when it’s clear, so when it’s raining I’m less motivated. All of my activities are outside, so if I can’t do anything outside, it makes me want to study less and do less homework.” - Michael Sanders | Kinesiology Major
