Welcome to Summer Session I! While the Writing and Learning Center is open for appointments 10-4 in SASB, many of our coaches are out enjoying their breaks. Our coach Sydney even visited Sharky at his home!
From Writing Coach Sophie S.: "Writing is like fashion; you can follow conventions and create something beautiful, or you can break conventions and create something beautiful. Most of the time, itโs about recognizing the occasion."
As we wrap up the semester, the peer tutors celebrated with the annual Tutor Feud game! Can you guess how many total appointments the peer tutors had this year? ๐ค
It's not just finals week here at @UNC, it is also Week of Balance supported by @UNCLibrary. Check out the link below for University Libraries full schedule of events! Did we mention the miniature horses? Pet therapy is a great way to relieve stress.

of being somewhere else
any minute
