The spring semester is coming to a close. Monday and Tuesday are the final instructional class days, Wednesday is a reading period, and Thursday marks the start of exams. 

Good luck on finals, Jackets. Remember to take a study break, get some rest, and stay fueled with water and nuritious snacks and meals.

Finals can put a lot of stress on students. In the midst of studying, it is important to take time to re-center and focus on personal well-being. Attend this meeting to practice and learn more about meditation. The meeting includes 15-30 minutes of meditation followed by a guided discussion and is open to all students.

Stop by the Capstone Design Expo to gain some inspiration before heading into finals. The Expo is one of the largest student design expos in the U.S. and showcases Georgia Tech’s graduating seniors. More than 1,000 students from 11 different schools and majors will showcase their creative solutions to real-world challenges.

See more end-of-year showcases at the Museum Studies Class Exhibition from 3–4 p.m. and at the Carbon Reduction Challenge Poster Session on Friday, April 28, from 3–4:30 p.m.
