Finals Focus Returns to Mann and Olin Libraries This Spring

As final projects, papers, and exams ramp up, Cornell University Library is once again offering Finals Focus: Settle In & Study, structured study sessions designed to help students stay productive, supported, and energized during one of the busiest weeks of the semester.

 

Hosted in partnership with the Learning Strategies Center and the Knight Writing Centers, Finals Focus combines focused Pomodoro-style study blocks with intentional breaks to help participants maintain momentum without burning out. Throughout each three-hour session, students can access on-the-spot support for writing, study strategies, and research help from tutors, writing instructors,  and librarians.

 

This semester, students can choose from two sessions:

Mann Library
Thursday, May 7, 1–4pm
Mann Room 160
Register here: https://spaces.library.cornell.edu/event/16696017

 

Olin Library
Friday, May 8, 9 am–12 pm
Olin Room 108
Register here: https://spaces.library.cornell.edu/event/16696693

 

Both sessions will include snacks and beverages, creating a welcoming, supportive environment where students can settle in, stay motivated, and make meaningful progress on final assignments.

 

Students are welcome to register for either session – or both!
