Stressing Over Finals?

The library is now open 24 hours during finals (until May 12th.) Stop by the circulation desk for some free cookies!

We know it's a stressful time of year, with final papers due and final exams to take (or grade), so here are some great tips for dealing with the stress and performing your best at crunch time.

For a well-deserved break from work and study, check out the Stevens Calendar for ongoing events here at the Institute, or see what's going on in Hoboken, Jersey City and NYC.

And as always, if you need any help finding resources for your research, you can contact your friendly information services librarians for help.

Good luck!!!
