Do you want to get organized to help you have a successful last few weeks of the semester?

This is a reminder that last Academic Empowerment Sessions of the semester will be happening this FRIDAY, December 12th, in the ARC Student Hub in Mitchell 295.

No appointment needed! Just walk in between 9 am and 3 pm!

What is an Academic Empowerment Session?

This is a time to work 1:1 with an accountability buddy to organize your assignments, make a study plan, talk about text anxiety, or talk about procrastination.

Bring any syllabi, planner, or assignment that you need help breaking down and talking through. We aim to make these sessions as practical as possible.
