Exam week is here, and TU has your back with resources and support to finish strong. There's drop-in tutoring, supportive study space and 24/7 hours at Cook Library to get prepared. When you need a break, you can pet a therapy dog, talk to a counselor or unwind at a special De-Stress Fest with yoga, games, crafts and more.
