There are numerous resources across campus that can help you manage stress this time of year.

And while you’re working on those final projects, don’t forget that librarians are available to help. Chat with us, call us, visit us, or schedule an appointment with a subject specialist with expertise in your area of study. All of these services are available through Ask a Librarian.
