Student News

The mid-semester break may have begun, but the Easter long weekend is yet to come. Even if you don't celebrate it, hopefully you have a chance to spend time with loved ones and have a real break from study.

What's happening in this week's Student News? Well, I'm glad you asked! The AUU are giving $500 to the person who can make the most impressive cup noodles, the Law School is running a free advice clinic to help with your legal needs, and Global IQ Connect is coming up soon, which is a really excellent way to learn about cultures and increase your cultural intelligence.

All that and more is below, so enjoy the week and do something you love this long weekend - whether that's chilling on the couch, going for a hike, or something in between!

Referencing support from the library
Tip of the day: reference as you write! Keeping track of your references as you write your assignment will reduce the last minute rush to double check your sources. Check the University Library’s referencing support page for guides and support.
