Eastway Outreach Center (EWOC):
The main hallway shared between Manchester Hall and Fletcher Hall will be open from 8am-10pm Monday-Friday. Similar to the Eastway Center dining hall, bowling alley, and convenience store, this area will be open to all Kent State University students regardless of where they live on- or off-campus. The Eastway Outreach Center in Manchester and Fletcher Hall is intended to be the convenient location for first-year students to find academic support services. In this collection of rooms there will be tutoring, Supplemental Instruction, Student Success Workshops, and other forms of academic support provided daily. When these spaces have not been reserved to be used for a specifically stated purpose residents should feel welcome to study, hang-out or otherwise use these spaces. The goal is to blur the lines between academic and social spaces. These spaces are not classrooms nor are they strictly social lounges, rather they have multiple uses.
How these rooms can be reserved:
Hall Staff are encouraged to use these rooms along with their residents. If a resident or Resident Assistant wishes to hold an activity or similar event in one of these spaces, the room can be easily reserved through the Twin (Beall and McDowell Hall) Area Desk: (330) 672-3915)
