The Skip Stop commuter organization will use the proceeds of this fundraiser to improve the commuter lounge in order to better service the 200 plus commuters at Barnard. Although the commuter lounge at Brooks Hall is currently a shared space, this fundraiser will provide the funds needed to make the commuter lounge a more comfortable, better supplied, and therefore more enjoyable place for commuters to stay in while on campus.
