Resource Center and Gift Shop Reopening
We are thrilled to announce the reopening of the Mardigian Wellness Resource Center (MWRC) and the FCVC Gift Shop on Monday, November 22. New hours are Monday - Friday, 9 am - 4 pm.
You may not see it, but we will be smiling behind our masks, and we’ve missed being here for you.
For your safety, we are taking the following precautions: sanitation of high-touch areas, Plexiglass barriers, limits to the number of patrons allowed inside and more.
