Bubble Space Allocation
To be considered for space, you must be an officially recognized organization
by ABA and fill out an application and return it to the Office of Student Life in
STU 330.
Remember: space allocations are renewed annually in April, so organizations must complete the process every year to retain their space.
A committee consisting of Student Activities staff, student leaders, and graduate assistants determine the distribution of office space in the Bubble.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Paul Stanish in the Office of Student Life at pstanish@bentley.edu.
