At the entry is a receptionist desk and three colorful circular couches. \u00a0The room has three long conference tables. Two smaller rooms off to the side have a clear glass door and wall. A large whiteboard wall within allows students to write out ideas for group projects. The room is open Monday through Thursday 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. On Friday, the room is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Schedules may change during midterms and finals.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the space, students are able to have access to laptops while in the lounge, two collaborative spaces with white board walls and a TV that has screen mirroring allowing it to be used with other devices that have the same function. Peer tutoring and other activities will be offered throughout the term. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hub lounge was opened on Jan. 14. It is the first of three lounges to be opened at the College. The program will focus on liberal arts and science, technology, engineering and math education (STEM). Throughout the next three years, two more MALLs will provide spaces for students to study, collaborate with peers, network and provide resources for students. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The MALLs earned a Title V grant from the Department of Education for the North Campus and the Carrie P. Meek Entrepreneurial Education Center, awarding the College $2 million throughout the next five years. The funds will go to pay for construction of the three lounges, staffing and MALLs programs. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The next lounge will be The Studio, which will be dedicated to performing and visual arts activities at an undetermined location. The final lounge will be called \u00a0Innovations and will be at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mdcthereporter.com\/a-hidden-treasure-in-liberty-city\/\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">Carrie P. Meek Entrepreneurial Education Center<\/span><\/a>. It will focus on building students\u2019 business skills and connecting them to academic resources. Construction dates for the next two lounges have not been decided yet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hub offers a unique opportunity for first year students, the Peer-Led Institute for Educational Excellence program or PIE\u00b2. The project has four modules each with a different goal to assist first year students. They focus on understanding your pathway, campus resources and navigation, your academic growth and your personal growth.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Professor Carola Pedreschi, who was part of the team that earned the Title V Grant award, gave a speech at the MALLs&#8217; inauguration. More than 200 students participated in the program during the fall, including Pedreschi\u2019s psychology Honors College students.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Evelyn Rodriguez, MALLs executive director, encourages students to stay at the campus and enjoy the wide-range of curricular and co-curricular offerings. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMALLs is unique because we offer a variety of services and programs,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cWe want to make it easy for any student to walk into our facilities and feel welcome and part of a community that aims for success. We strive to ensure every student feels at home in The Hub.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information see: <a href=\"\/\/sharknet.mdc.edu\/organization\/MALLs\"><span style=\"color: #3366ff;\">\/\/sharknet.mdc.edu\/organization\/MALLs<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On a recent \u00a0Friday afternoon, a group of four students worked on a class project inside the hub lounge, located at the new Multidisciplinary Academic Learning Lounges (MALLs) in \u00a0Room 1164 at North Campus.
