Great tip from the UTK Counseling Department!!

Welcome to our new mini series, Tip Tuesdays 🙂

We’ve been chatting behind the scenes and realized there’s something we all need right now… a smoother end to the semester.

So each Tuesday, our faculty will share simple, smart tips to help you wrap things up with a little less stress and a lot more confidence.

You got this, Vols. We believe in you. 🧡
