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 Mondays-Saturdays (Hours on Friday & Saturday are limited and we are closed completely on Sundays).
