Join the Sundberg Library, and the Learning Commons for Midterm Marathon!

We have a week full of activities planned to help you be successful in your midterms, and throughout your college career. Come by each day to meet some of the many people working at Kirkwood to support you in your classes. We will have counselors, librarians, learning assistants, and, of course, therapy dogs!

We will have events at two locations: the Library in Benton Hall, and the Learning Commons in Cedar Hall.

Each day at the Library we will have (while supplies last):

  • Coffee, tea, and hot cocoa
