The midpoint of the semester is approaching. That means there are big academic expectations around the corner.
Despite the heavy loads you may be shouldering, around the corner is also an opportunity to take a break. Fall Break begins next week and CAB has lined up some ways to help you let loose and shake off the stress.
This year especially, due to COVID-19, students are encouraged to RestFest in place.
“Everyone plays a role and everyone can help,” says VP of Student Life Dr. Steve Taylor. “As COVID cases continue to rise throughout Wisconsin, we want to do all that we can to reduce exposure to the virus.”
Check out the ways to RestFest in place this extended weekend.
