Reflection Spaces

NDSU students, staff, and faculty come from all over the world and represent the wide variety of ethnic, ideologic, and philosophic backgrounds that make our university community a vibrant place to live and learn. We recognize that there are many facets of life outside the classroom that impact everyone’s well-being.

The following spaces are available to NDSU faculty, staff, and students for reflection, meditation, prayer, or quiet rejuvenation:

Counseling Center: Stop and Go Center (reservable for 45-minute sessions by calling the Center at 701-231-7671).
Library: Rooms 118E and 20E (reservable through the library reservation system by visiting https://ndsu.libcal.com/r)
Memorial Union: Student organizations may reserve space on an ongoing and routine basis as available (reservable through the Memorial Union Room Reservations Form by visiting https://www.ndsu.edu/mu/conference_and_event_services/forms_and_resources/)
