The Professor A. John Coleman Undergraduate Lounge is now open!

Located in: Jeffery Hall, Rm. 220

The inspiration and major donor behind this project is Tom Higgins, Artsci’79. Tom discovered a love of math early in life. As a young boy, he spent many summers at his family cottage with his uncle, a professor at MIT. “He showed me that math is everywhere. And he made it fun, so I really didn’t need much encouragement to pursue it.” 

James A. Mingo, Head Department of Math & Stats
