Exam Cram, Thursday, April 25
Exam Cram is once again brought to you by the Sundberg Library & Learning Commons. This is a one-day event that provides students extra academic support and a little stress relief too!
Some of these events last the whole day, and some are for a limited time.
All events, food, and drinks are free. See our Exam Cram guide for a detailed schedule (guides.kirkwood.edu/examcram). All events take place in the Library, first floor Benton Hall: Popcorn and other to-go snacks, coffee and tea, craft and coloring table, puzzles around the library, door prizes, walk-in study support in math and science courses (10 a.m. – 5 p.m.), stress relief with Kirkwood counselors (11 a.m. – 1 p.m.), therapy dog visit (11:15 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.)
The Library is the perfect place to study, with group study on the first floor and quiet study on the whole second floor; tables to spread out or soft chairs to get comfortable; rooms to study with a group; plus computers, printers, and people to help.
The Library will be open extra hours during the final days of the semester: Sunday, April 28, 3 – 10 p.m.; Monday-Thursday, April 29 – May 2, 7:30 a.m. – midnight; Friday, May 3, 7:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Saturday, May 4, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Sunday, May 5, 3 – 10 p.m.; Monday – Tuesday, May 6 – 7, 7:30 a.m. – midnight; Wednesday, May 8, 7:30 a.m. – 9 p.m.
