Camp Out to Study Strong!
May 15, 2014
Every finals season we hear students say that they’re “camping out at the library” until exams are over. So, to make this semester’s camping adventure a little more fun, we’re offering several camping-themed events to help students #studystrong. Together with campus partners, College Library hopes to bring a little fun into an otherwise stress-filled week with the following schedule of events:
Thursday, May 8: Create your own “Merit Badge(r)” with coloring pages that celebrate such milestones as ’24 Hours in the Library’ and ‘Intravenous Coffee Ingestion.’ Or, design your own merit badge and share with others by posting it in the library. Available all week, 1st Floor Center.
Friday, May 9: Celebrate the last day of classes with a “Caffeinated Camp Out” at Open Book Cafe’! Get free regular coffee, tea or hot chocolate, courtesy of the Wisconsin Union, from 7pm to 2am. Room 1250.

In addition to coloring pages and merit badges, there will also be a Rainbow Loom and supplies in the 1st floor “living room” to provide a camp-like distraction all week long.
