“Currently, there are 183 military or veteran students enrolled at St. Joseph's College, and 116 are on the Long Island Campus alone,” said Shannon O’Neill, assistant dean for the School of Professional and Graduate Studies in a release. “The lounge is a place for those who have served or are currently serving our country, to find a quiet spot to study or to meet and get to know some of their fellow service members.”
