Wartburg College faculty and staff will spend three hours Sunday, April 13, helping students enter finals week ready for exams.
The Great Escape, a study marathon and stress-reduction gathering for all students, will begin at 6:30 p.m., in Vogel Library. Professors, Writing/Reading/Speaking Lab consultants, and librarians will be available to assist with term projects, exam preparation and stress reduction.
Counseling Services and Entertainment ToKnight, the student-run programming organization, will host games and other de-stressing activities, including a giant game of Kerplunk, Origami lessons, Play-Doh and music.
The Rev. Ramona Bouzard, pastor and Wartburg Chapel dean, will host a prayer session at 8 p.m.
“This is our first time hosting such an event. Our hope is that it will help students go into exam week with a positive and optimistic attitude, having studied and enjoyed themselves as part of a community,” said Jette Irgens, Pathways associate for the Writing/Reading/Speaking Lab.
Irgens added it was easy to find faculty and staff volunteers because “they want to support their students.”
