It is a tranquil retreat designed for students to unwind before, between, and after classes. Relax in the vibrating massage recliner with the weighted blanket while enjoying the kinetic art on the wall. We have disposable eye masks, noise canceling headphones, and a variety of coloring books, dump journals, and small Lego kits to take your mind off of daily stresses. Come and enjoy this serene environment, created to promote well-being and support you in navigating the challenges of academic life. This room is on a first come first serve basis.

Title IX
Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in education and reads:
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
The University of Georgia does not discriminate on the basis of sex in its education programs and activities.
Sexual Assault Response Team (SART)
Many resources are available to UGA students impacted by relationship violence, sexual violence, stalking and harassment. There is help both on and off the UGA Griffin campus. The University of Georgia’s Sexual Assault Response Team (SART) is intended to coordinate and assist the University of Georgia in delivering the highest quality of services to victims/survivors of sexual assault. Students at UGA-Griffin who are in need of SART services can download the SART Resources Chart for more information about local resources.
