Study techniques you thought were helping you but are actually hurting you

Since we’re getting further along into the semester, let’s debunk some studying myths and how to optimize your time reading that 100+ page assignment.

Key takeaways aways:
- review often in small increments: divide and conquer
- just go to sleep: if your brain is fried it’s not going to help you on the test
- instead of memorizing, try teaching the concept to a friend
- don’t spend too much time stuck on one topic

This weekend we welcomed the Class of 2030 to Hamilton Lugar with breakfast and a conversation with Congressman Jefferson Shreve, then headed across campus for behind-the-scenes tours of Indiana University Bloomington men’s basketball and football facilities, including a chance to see the national championship trophy.

These outstanding Indiana students will receive $20,000 over four years through the Shreve Scholars Program as they pursue their interests in global affairs and critical regions of the world.

We’re excited to have them at Indiana University and can’t wait to see where the next four years take them.

Last week we celebrated our incoming class of Hamilton Lugar Students at our annual Induction Ceremony and Backyard Party.

Per tradition, every student received a Charter of the United Nations and a speech from the Hamilton Lugar School Student Government President Celine Yang to inspire them for the upcoming semester.

We were also super excited to host David Dávila and MATIXANDO, an organization of various musical projects, founded and directed by the Costa Rican singer-songwriter.

Thanks to everyone who came out to the event, it was great meeting all of you!
