Dragonflies are associated with light, swiftness, and overcoming obstacles, making them a symbol of hope and infinite possibilities. The Dragonfly Room was designed as a safe and calming space and offers students a place to relax, unwind, and engage in quiet reflection or meditation. It is one of Eastern University's dedicated on-campus resource centers.

The room is open and available for students to drop-in from 9am-7pm Mondays-Fridays and 3pm-7pm on Saturdays (closed Sundays). 

Themed sessions will also be held daily in the Dragonfly Room.
