Another Space of Your Own

Oct 30 2022

by Nasci Lobo, Director of Communications and Marketing

After moving to the Honmoku Campus in January, we featured an article titled A Space of Your Own that highlighted some of the spaces on campus our community members like to work in. Our campus has plenty of cozy corners to cuddle up in, large spaces for group work and quiet places for focussed effort. We took a tour around campus to see where where our staff and students like to spend time. See pictures of life on campus in our Campus Potpourri album on YIS Photos.
