Study Blitz!

Originally called Long Night Against Procrastination, Study Blitz is an event designed to encourage students to avoid putting things off (procrastinating!) and to tackle some of the assignments, projects, and papers that are due at the end of the semester and to start preparing for exams. 

The Neumann Library is partnering with the Writing Center, Counseling Services, and the Student Success Center in the Hawks’ Overlook to bring the students readily available research, writing, study skills, and stress management expertise.

There will be librarians providing research assistance, consultations from the Writing Center, time management and  study tips from the Student Success Center, and stress management tips and activities from Counseling Services!

The library will also be providing coffee, water, snacks, and activities to promote relaxation! 

• Writing Center 

"Through online, face-to-face and workshop-based consultations, the Writing Center staff works with clients regardless of skill level and at any stage of the writing process. As a site for local and disciplinary research, the center supports dynamic, progressive and inclusive consulting principles. Our work is further grounded in best practices from the field of rhetoric and composition for university-level writing centers and programs."

"University of Houston-Clear Lake Counseling Services is here to help students fulfill their goals by fostering connections with and among members of the university community, facilitating the discovery and realization of power in their strengths and developing the ability to address emotional and psychological challenges."
