Middlesex Community College has established Meditation & Reflection Centers on its Bedford and Lowell campuses.
“Two rooms, one on each campus, have been set aside as quiet spaces for students, faculty and staff to step away from their busy schedules to meditate and spend time in silent reflection, according to Patricia Demaras, Assistant Dean of International/Multicultural Student Affairs.
“Developed out of MCC’s commitment to embracing and celebrating the diversity of our college community, these safe and comfortable environments were created in response to student request,” said Demaras. “A growing group of students expressed a desire for a dedicated meditation space, a safe and accepting learning environment where they could quietly reflect and de-stress.”
Already popular relaxation spots, the new Meditation & Reflection Centers are used by individuals, as well as for weekly group-meditation sessions, Demaras explained.
“The meditation groups have expanded to include a larger number of participants each week. On any given day, students, faculty and staff can be found using the rooms to their full benefit,” she said.
Located in Bedford House on the Bedford campus, the center is available for the MCC community when the college is open.
