Academic success is a marathon, not a sprint! Pulling all-nighters right before exams only leads to burnout. Real achievement in college requires a steady, sustainable pace – consistent habits, spaced practice, and room to breathe.
Don’t run the course alone. The Academic Resource Center (ARC) can help you map out the rest of your semester and build a winning game plan. Stop by the ARC today and let’s plan your marathon strategy together.
To schedule an appointment, click on the TracCloud icon on your Canvas dashboard. We are open Monday through Thursday from 1 to 9 p.m. and Friday from noon to 4 p.m.
Any questions? Email Heather Harney at hharney@georgefox.edu.
