This may be all members of the organization or only a few based on training or board membership. Only currently enrolled students should be granted access to student spaces. Alumni and other community members are welcome to use student spaces only when accompanied by current students and if permitted according to current COVID-19 campus access guidelines. Student spaces may not be used during winter and summer breaks unless special permission is granted.
