EDUCATION MATTERS

“Education Matters” was the theme of the study hall that took place on the evening of March 17. Located on the first floor of Higgins Hall, the session was open for the entire student body to attend, hosted by the National Pan-Hellenic Council.
“I do not think many people knew about this study session,” said sophomore Engineering major Sarah Gilligan.
The afternoon study session may have kicked off slowly, but there still was an adequate amount of eager students who arrived ready to hit the books. Students arrived with their laptops and backpacks already open, pencil and paper in hand. The room was filled with a high spirited atmosphere.
“The amazing thing is, there is a diversity of students here tonight,” said senior Education major Cheryl Williams.
There were independent students who arrived on their own, looking more for a space to study in rather than assistance. Some had earphones in their ears while others chatted with their neighbors as they completed their work. Other students arrived as tutors for others, gladly assisting those who may have been having any difficulties.
While enjoying the refreshments, Nursing major Joane Green gave her opinion of the session.
“This is really cool,” said Green. “We need to have public study halls more often,”
Green wasn’t the only student who appreciated the idea of public study halls. “Less parties and more study halls” was a frequently used phrase throughout the night. Those who attended the event demonstrated their dedication to education, complimenting the study hall’s theme of “Education Matters”.
