KBK Office and Locker Tenants
More than 130 student organizations call the Keith B. Key Center for Student Leadership and Service home, utilizing dedicated office or locker space to support their operations and engagement efforts.
Office Tenants
Student organizations with office space are expected to host weekly office hours to maintain a consistent presence in the KBK Center. These organizations are also encouraged to attend and participate in the annual KBK Center Open House each fall—a great opportunity to showcase their mission and connect with the campus community.
Locker Tenants
Locker tenants are not required to host office hours, but they are equally encouraged to take part in the KBK Center Open House. Participation allows these organizations to increase visibility, share their work, and engage with fellow students in a collaborative environment.
All student organizations with active status may apply for office or locker space in the KBK Center. Tenants of these spaces have 24/7 access to their office or locker space to further their leadership aspirations and help to create a positive space for collaboration and creativity.
