Midterm Marathon: October 7-11, 2024

Midterm Marathon Welcome!

Join the Sundberg Library & 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 just to support you in your classes. We will have counselors, librarians, learning assistants, and, of course, therapy dogs! We will finish out the week with a game day, because it's important to relax and have fun too!

Fall 2024 schedule

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 
  • Snacks to-go for quick fuel
  • Jigsaw puzzles to work on between study sessions
