📝 Are you looking for a place to get some work done, access academic support as needed, AND socialize with peers? That's the sort of environment that Julia and Abeer are creating in their Tuesday Student Learning Commons (SLC) & Library Drop-in in AQ 2002 from 11:30am-1:30pm.

At least one of them will be available for Indigenous student support during the drop-ins and happy to chat about your academic assignments.
