Tip of the week

Matthew Geibel, Director, Academic Support Services for Student-athletes

Every experience is an opportunity to learn and grow - setbacks are just as valuable as successes!
There is no one right way to study. Find what works for you. This includes location, tools, and people. The only way to know your ideal plan is to give some a try.
Be the reason someone smiles today 😊
