STUDENT CENTER AND STUDENT ACTIVITIES

The new student center, named after a prominent alumnus, is an integral part of the educational and co-curricular agenda of Saint Paul’s College.  The Center is not only a building but also the central focus of college community life serving as the “social hub” of the campus. The Center and its programs, both formal and informal, serve as a laboratory outside of the classroom for students to transform recreation and leisure time into informal learning experiences, increase cultural awareness and appreciation, enjoy the harmonious atmosphere and camaraderie among fellow students, faculty, staff, and community.                         

The Center provides a broad range of social, educational, and individualized interest activities, such as a bowling alley, ping pong, billiards, video games, receptions, banquets, conference meeting rooms for clubs, organizations, sororities, and fraternities. As an international community, the Center also provides students a diverse experience through the celebration of multi-cultural events. Information on rules and regulations pertaining to scheduling, financing, and supervising activities may be obtained from the Office of Student Affairs.

The Center includes a commuter lounge for off-campus commuter students;   lockers, computer terminals, study areas as well as comfortable sofas and chairs for relaxation between classes.
