Finals Week Programming: Fall 2024: Adventure Time at HooverLib

Finals Week: Adventure Time

Finals Week Activities

Join us in the library Thursday, December 5th  from 7PM - Midnight for a night of studying, writing, snacks, camaraderie, and crafts! We'll be using Classroom 314 in the library to offer you a lively space to come together and knock out some of those final assignments and papers for the semester.

We're thrilled to have librarians available to help you with any research questions all night as well as tutors from the STEM and Writing Centers! STEM Center tutors should be around for the full night and our Writing Center tutors will arrive at 10, after the Center has closed.

Watch this space for more updates about finals week activities!

If you have any questions, you can contact Steph Crowell at scrowell@mcdaniel.edu.
