Spring Break is just two weeks away (March 16-20th)! We know it's tough, but hang in there. Take the time to breathe and regroup for the remainder of the semester. You'll be a little over halfway through!
Also, keep in mind that RSS and most other offices on campus will be closed on the last day of Spring Break, Friday, March 20th.
