New TVs Installed in Robson Lounges

Posted by admin on Oct 31, 2007 in News | 0 comments

As of October 16, Robson now has six plasma screen televisions, one in each lounge. The change is due to $10,000 donated anonymously for this purpose.

Kelvin Gartley, Director of Community Life, says that the request was specifically for Robson to receive six TVs, complete with a fully-paid one-year subscription to satellite cable.

According to Gartley, “Students will appreciate watching TV in their own building.”

Robson residents Beth Douglas and Emily Lynch both welcome the change. “[It is a] blessing to have a place where we can watch TV,” said Douglas. “Robson just has a big lounge out there, and it’ll be good for our hall to watch movies together.”

Lynch agreed that this is a good thing for Robson. She added that she doesn’t think she will be watching more TV than she’s used to at home.

Because every other lounge on campus now has a TV, plans are in the works for installing a TV in McMillan, said Gartley.
