2. Prepare for Prep Week

No matter your role on campus - student, faculty, staff, or community member - it is important to know what resources and support are available throughout the year. This is even more important as we approach Prep Week (Dec. 7-11) and Finals Week (Dec. 14-18).

Not only are there key resources included in the Keep Learning, Keep Teaching, and Keep Working resource pages, but the Academic and Career Development Center has a collection of academic resource centers that can provide remote support. Learn More.
