The following is a collection of tips provided by various offices and organizations around campus. When the semester's workload increases, it can be challenging to remember the diverse services offered on campus. This is a simple reminder of some of the lesser-known pieces of advice.
1. The Academic Learning Center offers drop-in sessions for proofreading, as well as math help, which is separate from the Hancock Center's Math Lab. Drop-in times are Monday through Thursday, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. for proofreading, and 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. for math. They also offer online proofreading for papers of five pages or less, and promise a 36-hour or less return time. Specific arrangements must be made for longer papers. – Jane Fiore, director of the Academic Learning Center.
2. Students seeking current event articles can borrow copies of the Wall Street Journal from the Cannavino Library for free. Articles must be photocopied, because all issues of the Journal are kept for the library's archives. – Junior Aileen Lamontagne, circulation desk.
3. The Office of College Activities operates not only to disperse existing event information, but also to collect new event information. Members of campus clubs can contact the office to better promote their events. The physical calendar is already printed, but the web calendar can be updated. – The Office of College Activities.
4. Sleep better by avoiding strenuous exercise, large meals or bright computer lights before bed. – Office of Counseling Services.
5. Hydration is on students' minds in the summer, but can easily be forgotten in the winter – when it is still important. – Office of Health and Wellness.
6. Freshmen should begin to think about future jobs, sophomores should contemplate internships and career plans, juniors and seniors should think about internships and graduate school or career plans, and seniors should have a job search underway. "Start to plan ahead" – Stephen Cole, executive director of Career Services.
7. Students with long names can save some time by logging in with their alpha accounts, which are shorter than the traditional "first.last#" accounts. Contact ResNet for more information. – Karyn Pierre-Louis, ResNet help desk.
8. Students are welcome to attend student government meetings at 11 a.m. on Wednesdays to voice any ideas or concerns. – Paul DiBlasi, junior class president.
