Reminder: TAKE CARE DURING FINALS

Self-care is critical to success

study materials

Good luck during your finals next week! We just want to remind you that self-care is key to higher grades. Sleep and stay hydrated to stay at the top of your game. Inactivity for a prolonged period of time reduces the effectiveness of studying, so stretch and get some exercise during those valuable study breaks!
