Located in the Student Services building in SS104 on the Eureka Main Campus, the RSJJ Center serves as a welcoming, supportive space specifically for justice-impacted students. Our center offers a quiet, comfortable environment where students can focus on their studies, take a break, or connect with their peers who share similar experiences. We believe that having a dedicated space is essential for fostering community, promoting academic success, and enhancing overall well-being.
The RSJJ Center provides various amenities to students while they spend their time on campus:
- Refreshments and Snacks: Enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee (on request), or a cup of tea, along with various snacks, and small meals.
- We offer a refrigerator to keep students food fresh for the day until they have time to eat, along with a microwave so they can enjoy a warm meal.
