Sullivan Open House

Hello everyone!

As many of you know, there will be an open house event tomorrow here at Sullivan University. It's an opportunity for individuals who may be considering attending the University to come see what we're about and what we have to offer.

Sullivan University is a great place to be and if you're thinking of attending college for the first time, are returning to college after a hiatus, and/or are a veteran, I highly recommend coming to the open house tomorrow: there will be numerous ambassadors available to speak with you and take you around the facility as well as explain some of the programs and benefits Sullivan has to offer: you never know, you might even see me there and say hello. The open house begins at 8:15 (for the Student Ambassadors) and 9am for potential students. Hope to see you there!

On another note, the quarter has come to a close and we enter our last full week of classes before final exams. Many of us have problems with doing our schoolwork or finding a group to study with so I wanted to take a moments time as well to mention some program info I received from Sarah Nichter through the Student Mentor program: the 'Procrastination Lab' workshop and 'Preparing for Final Exams.'

Procrastination Lab

The Library is sponsoring the first ever procrastination Lab on Monday, December 3rd from 4:00-9:30pm in L01 (basement of the library). Come in to work on your final projects, assignments, and papers. A librarian will be on hand to help you with your research, APA format and other needs. Procrastinators of the school unite (on Monday)!
 
Preparing for Final Exams
Eating balanced meals, using caffeine in moderation, and getting plenty of sleep are important to doing well on final exams. See the attached list from the Wellness Center for these ideas and more on preparing for exams.
Meet your classmates in the Á la Carte Café on Tuesday, December 11th from 5 pm to 8 pm for Finals Study Night; enjoy free coffee and pizza while you study for finals! The Library will remain open until 11 p.m. during Finals Week.
Check in the Tutoring Center for times and dates of Exam Study Sessions for Computer Applications, Math 101, and Math 201.
Classes will meet on the Finals Week schedule beginning Tuesday, December 4th. Day school class periods are extended to 90 minutes for those classes which normally meet for 50 minutes. Be sure that you are in the right place at the right time—schedules are available in Enrollment Services and in the Student Scene.
 
Well, that's about it for this month, enjoy and hope to see you tomorrow.
