This Monday, the Long Night Against Procrastination continued its support of scholarly study and encouragement for a culture of community learning. At its busiest hour of the night, 30% of the student body was in the Swedenborg Library at one time, tucked into study nooks, utilizing the new conference pod, taking a snack break at the cafe, or congregating around tables in the main area and upstairs. Two therapy dogs were introduced into the mix for the first hour of the event, and a masseuse was there in the main room with a comfy massage table and essential oils to promote focus and provide stress relief. Students checked items off their to-do lists, goals were reached, progress was made, and another “celebration of the slog” was successfully entered into the books!
