SSS/EOP Academic Workshops

SSS & EOP Partner to provide students with a wide array of workshops focused on the academic and professional development of students. These are hosted in the SSS/EOP Tutorial Center Computer Room (UU 262). Dates and times TBA!

Long Night Against Procrastination Events

We run "Long Night Against Procrastination" events a couple of times during the semester and have tutoring during the event. During these events, we use the Pomodoro Technique to encourage productive study.

The Pomodoro Technique is a time management system that encourages people to work with the time they have—rather than against it. Using this method, you break your workday into 25-minute chunks separated by five-minute breaks. These intervals are referred to as pomodoros. After about four pomodoros, you take a longer break of about 15 to 20 minutes.

Long Night Events TBA!
