Reading Day #2. Today’s tip is to stay focused and engaged with the material; don’t let the mind wander. You don’t want to be at it for 30 minutes and have no recollection of what you were just reading.

Today‘s the first of our two reading days to help prepare for final exams. Buckle down and get it done. It’s crunch time!

It’s that time of the semester. We all do what we can to help, but it’s important to put in the effort too. Good luck to those of you with finals looming.

Prof. Moran and some students from his US Politics class tagged along with our colleague, Dr. Virginia Ochoa-Winemiller in the Latin American Studies program, for a day tour of the Ellis Island immigration museum and Liberty Island. One of the perks of NJCU is having these amazing resources in the backyard.
