Reserving Nifkin (Alumni) Lounge
Nifkin Lounge may be reserved by any ESF community member for a college-related function, inlcuding faculty, staff, students and student organizations.
Considerations:
- Reservations can be made up to six months in advance
- There are a number of “fixed” reservations that render the lounge unavailable*
- When possible, lounge should remain accessible to students during lunch
- When possible, non-student weekday events should conclude by 5:00pm
Reservation Steps:
- Check the "Fixed" Reservations lists below to be sure your desired date/time is available.
- Check the Nifkin Reservations Calendar to be sure your desired date/time is available. Note that only 1 event appears in each calendar box, but ALL events for a date appear in the right-hand list.
- Complete and submit the Reserving Nifkin (Alumni) Lounge form online.
