It’s Finals Time!

As is tradition, College Library and its campus partners will once again attempt to ease the stress of finals by bringing some fun into an otherwise anxiety-filled week of exams. And because College Library is the new home of SOAR Advising, we’re hoping to capture the advice current students would give their #UWNewStudent self. What do you know now that you wish you knew then? Look for a chance to share your hard-earned wisdom on Monday, May 8.

Until then, there will be coloring pages and puzzles all week to help relieve the stress of finals. The library is also open 24/7 to accommodate those studying for exams. We do not close until Friday, May 12, at 6 p.m.

Scheduled events include:

Thursday, May 4
5 – 7 p.m. – “Trash Your Stressors” – free activities from UHS (University Health Services) including make your own stress relief kits, trash your biggest stressors & decorate a gratitude jar. 1st Floor Center
