Raider Study Rally

Office of Student Success

The Office of Student Success will host its inaugural Raider Study Rally on Wednesday, December 3, from 6–9 p.m. in the Walker Library Tutoring Spot. This event is designed to support students as they prepare for final exams by providing access to tutoring, study strategies, peer learning, and academic resources. Students are encouraged to bring class materials, study with peers, and engage in a structured environment that promotes academic success. Snacks and encouragement will be provided to foster motivation and focus during this critical time.

How Faculty Can Support Student Participation

Faculty play a major role in helping students take advantage of this opportunity. You can support in the following ways:

• Announce the event in class and encourage students to attend, particularly those who may benefit from structured preparation time.
• Include the event flyer or details in D2L for easy student access and visibility.
• Offer extra credit or incentives to students who participate (attendance verification can be provided).
• Share common content challenges or high-impact practice problems with tutoring staff to strengthen session alignment.
• Encourage study groups or partner-based attendance to increase engagement and learning outcomes.
