"Ingalls, in my opinion, is the best study location on the BU campus. I think people like Ingalls because it is one of the few places that offers color printing and long operating hours. Also, the individual rooms for study groups are a favorite among many students. Other than the various study tools that Ingalls offer, and a great study environment, it is also a great place to get to know your fellow engineers better."
Events We have no events planned in Ingalls at this time. The space is mostly used to study but we had 5 events recently. A Thanksgiving Buffet was held the Wednesday before Thanksgiving for students who were on campus during the recess. Below are some pictures from the event. You can also read about it: Thanksgiving Buffet 2008 The Presidential Inauguration, prompted an Ingalls event. See pictures below. LEAP Graduation Celebration LEAP students gathered together to wish the graduates well. See pictures below. Surprise Treats You never know what surprises ENG staff have for hard-working students. See pictures below.

The "no TV sound" rule was suspended with no protest and all studying stopped. College of Engineering students from all over the world wanted to witness this moment in American history in Ingalls. While eyes were on the two televisions and several laptops, the staff of the Graduate Programs Office (GPO) began cutting a surprise cake they arranged for the day. They anticipated some interest, but were surprised so many ENG students choose Ingalls as the place to be on this historic day, and happy there was plenty of cake to share.
Photos by David Taur and Arjun Gupta Although Ingalls is for study and parties are few, the period between semesters can be slow and Helaine Friedlander, LEAP Manager, thought it would be a great place to hold a celebration for LEAP Graduates. She was right! LEAP students enjoyed pizza, salad, cake and an award ceremony while non-LEAP students remained in Ingalls to study and use the computers and, of course, they were invited to join in the celebration. You can learn more about LEAP (The Late Entry Accelerated Program) at: http://www.bu.edu/eng/leap/
Students took a break from study when cake appeared in Ingalls. One on April 30 from the Biomedical Academics Program Office and a second surprise on May 5 from the Undergraduate Programs Office.
The Office of Development & Alumni Relations held "Cookie Day". Ilyayna Sori helped distribute the treats to surprised students who were busy with their laptops and books.
