A top floor lounge in the Science Center surrounded by glowing sunlight through a wall of windows serves as the perfect study nest for this student. It also serves as inspiration for this week’s photo series.
After classes ended on August 24, students spent several days preparing for final exams. Libraries, porches, patios, residence halls, and other spaces were transformed into reading nooks and study circles. At the end of each semester, students are given about four days to prepare for their final exams. This time is commonly known as the Reading Period. This semester, finals will take place August 29 to September 2.
