Club Purpose:

To encourage students to study and form a study habit by offering regularly recurring study sessions. Our goal is to provide a space where students can quietly study together, thereby encouraging studying. Remember, it takes time to understand your course material! Give yourself the best chance to succeed – make a habit of studying by attending our study sessions 😄. 

How it Works: 

Our Study Sessions are quiet study sessions using the pomodoro technique! For every hour of study session, there will be 45 minutes of quiet study and 15 minutes of break. Social Gatherings occur monthly and are solely for socializing, as a reward for studying during the month! There will be lots of fun activities, some snacks provided by the club, and possibly rewards & awards! 

Study Sessions Versus Social Gatherings 

Study Sessions:
Study Sessions are held multiple times per week; you are invited to attend as many as you can to form a study habit. 

Social Gatherings:
Social Gatherings are the monthly social events that the Study Buddy Club hosts as a reward for you studying all month! It includes snacks & beverages, awards for participating in study sessions, a forum for member feedback about the club, as well as fun games and the chance to socialize!
