Study Breaks at Wesley! – The Wesley Foundation at the University of Virginia

Hey Wesleyanos,

So maybe you’re gearing up for exams, maybe you’re taking it easy until Wednesday, or maybe you’re like me and you’ve been stuck in the Architecture school since Monday…but whatever your situation, I’m happy to announce the complete listing of the highly-anticipated Wesley study breaks! For those of you who are new to Wesley this year or haven’t had a chance to check us out yet, let me tell you that Wesley study breaks are by far the best part of finals. Though I know that you all will be studying hard, but I hope you can pause with us and have a little fun. Our goal is that these daily events will give you something to look forward to during a rough part of the semester. They may even motivate you to study harder! These breaks will be listed along with other programs in the Week at Wesley e-mails; you will also receive a reminder e-mail about each event with more detailed information on meeting locations, etc. For now, you can mark these down on your calenders:

Don’t let the arbitrary times deter you — they are a Wesley tradition and are approximate 🙂 I hope you can join us for any and all of these breaks! And if you haven’t made it to Wesley yet this semester, this is a great time to come check it out!

Also, having trouble finding space to study in the library? Come join us in Study Camp! We have our own study room in the upstairs portion of our building over the living room. It’s well-stocked with comfy chairs, desks, tables, and often populated with friendly faces. Come try it out — it could be your best discovery yet.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy studying,
Lauren Gilchrist (ltg6s)
