Study On! is co-sponsored by the USC Libraries, Phi Kappa Phi, Office for Wellness and Health Promotion, USC Transportation.
With final exams around the corner, students will be working immensely hard as they hope to achieve the best grades possible in their courses. This atmosphere can sometimes turn competitive and lead to intense stress, social isolation, loss of sleep and less resistance to sickness. USC offices from around campus have partnered to provide resources and activities to support students during this tough period. As part of the Be Well USC initiative, the Office for Wellness and Health Promotion, Kortschak Center for Learning and Creativity, USC Transportation, Phi Kappa Phi and USC Libraries are continuing the Study On! Finals initiative this semester to encourage students to take a break from studying to recharge and refresh. This physical and mental break is designed so that when students decide to continue studying, they are able to do it with more focus, energy and knowledge on managing their stress.
The Activities and Resources for Spring 2018 Study On! include the following:
- Study Snacks & Refreshments (Free!)
- Study Tips to aid with organization and anxiety management
- SLIME-making and other craft activities to lower stress
- USC Libraries mini-coloring book with links to library hours and services and articles on reducing stress
- USC Wellness Dog: Professor Beau Meet-and-Greet
- And of course… our Pause for Paws Therapy Dogs!
WHEN AND WHERE
- Study On! will take place in front of Leavey Library at the Reflection Pool. Hours for the event are 1:00-4:00 PM on Monday through Wednesday, April 30th – May 2nd, 2018.
