Many evenings, the lounge’s 75-person capacity is used to present comedy, novelty and musical acts for the student body. During the daytime hours, the lounge offers a quiet dining location for patrons of the Global Café.
Global Café
The Global Café offers members of the university community an alternative to the Miley cafeteria plan. The Global’s menu includes breakfast items, such as bagels and egg sandwiches’ lunch items including hamburgers and French fries, and a dinner menu featuring “value meals” similar to fast food chains.

The centerpiece of this room is a fully reconditioned regulation size Sterling billard table. In addition, students may choose to shoot darts on the electronic board, play foosball or just watch television.
