We are so thankful for the connections we make with River Hawks every day. No classes Nov 24-26. Many offices may be closed after 1pm Wed, 11/24 thru Mon, Nov 29. Pls contact any department you may wish to connect with prior to that. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, however you spend it.

Time to take stock and prep for the end of the semester. Yes, already.

• Re-read your syllabus and make sure you have completed all assignments to date or make a list of those you need to finish.

• Make sure you have a solid idea of when/where/what is expected of you for Finals. If you don’t know, re-read syllabus or ASK your instructor.

•Assess your current grade. Is it great? 👍🏼
Is it ‘just ok’? Tutoring is freeeeeee. So are office hours.
Is it keeping you awake? You may have options. Talk to your instructor or your advisor.

• Thanksgiving weekend can be a good time to rest or to catch up. Be real with yourself and roll up your sleeves & open the laptop, if need be.
