Student Leadership Newsbeat
 {issue 5. December 8th, 2017} 
Happy Last Week of Classes!!
It's almost time to take a break and reflect on fall semester and make plans for spring semester. Here at Wilks, we want to help you in both regards! Read below for:
  • our finals survival guide
  • opportunities to consider for next semester
  • an exciting update!
  • an intriguing sneak peek...
Please feel free to reach out with questions over the break!
Finals Survival Guide
Finals is upon us!!! The Wilks SLCs have gathered a list of finals tips to help you survive:

Take advantage of Student Counseling Service's Mini Horse Therapy at Finals
(TODAY, 1:00-3:00 pm, Armstrong Patio)
and Dog Day at Finals
(Monday 12/11, 1:00-4:00 pm, Armstrong 1066)! 

Rub the turtle heads on the Sundial for luck
(if you dare...)

Make time for friends! Self-care and studying breaks are essential during finals week, so reach out to people you can relax and laugh with!

Get some zzzzs! Sleep is super important for knowledge retention. All-nighters are NOT worth it.

We've learned the hard way--don't wait until the night before to start studying! Slow and steady wins the race!
