“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
