Study Break

You can still connect with Academic Advising this week for drop-in hours or appointments. 

Join Jill Thompson (Indigenous Education and Cultural Services), Rachel Ariss (Legal Studies), and Alyson King (Political Science) in a presentation and discussion of Indigenous women in historical and contemporary contexts.

Join us for a temperature check on how your semester is going! Assess your progress, consider your challenges and think about your motivation! What does success mean to you and are you meeting those goals? Thinking about dropping a course? Considering a different program? These are things many students are wondering about and your academic advisors will be happy to discuss!

Exams are coming up soon and, for many students, this can be a time that is filled with stress and anxiety. However, with the knowledge of a few evidence-based study strategies and stress management techniques, students can minimize stress, study effectively, and feel more confident in their abilities. In this workshop, students will learn organizational strategies and tips for managing their exams.

Is it time to break up with stress? Please join us to learn about various strategies to reduce stress and maintain wellness. You will also hear about university services available to students to help manage stress. This workshop is facilitated by mental health services staff and mental health peer mentors.
