S tudents are packing up to go home and at the same time studying for finals. To

say the least, this week will be a stressful one. To help students unwind and

have a little break, the WRC/Stryker will be providing food and a place to relax

at Scott-Willcoxon hall all this week. There will be plenty of food, music, and

places to study, so feel free to come on in.

Also Don’t Forget about the free printing!

We at the WRC/SI hope you have a great Summer and see you next year.!

If you are staying up here for the summer and/or taking classes don’t be afraid to

stop on by. We will remain open during the Summer.
