RAs Shirlyn, Anya, Aileen, Asiya
Bursley Hall Residents are invited to participate in a community study space where they can be motivated by others to lock in for their studies. A high stress season can be overturned by having a sense of community who are all in the same boat. We will provide cider and cinnamon donuts for emotional support and as an incentive for students to have a successful study session. We plan to create an environment that is study friendly and is welcoming for students who might not like the atmosphere of their dorms as a study space or don’t want to go out to a library. Our goal is to target the seasonal depression and exam stress experienced by students in their academic years.
