Hello Huskies,
I hope you had a wonderful holiday break for Thanksgiving and Native American Heritage Day. As you begin thinking about your finals, I encourage you to check out UW Libraries’ 10 Tips for Success. Use these time-saving resources to help you succeed and stress less during finals! I also recommend you check out Odegaard Library’s extended hours during finals and the winter break schedule for all libraries. Best of luck with your finals and have a restful Winter Break.
Sincerely,
Denzil
