Thrive Through Thursday offers walk-in academic skills, executive function, and writing and citing support every Thursday from 11:10 a.m. to 12 noon in the Writing Center (Chalmers Library, second floor). We host raffles, have stress-relieving swag, and offer advice each week on a chosen theme (but we're happy to answer other questions, too).
If you missed advice from one of the weeks (topics and themes listed below), please email Scanlon1@kenyon.edu or WritingCenter@kenyon.edu for a copy of the materials including videos, handouts, and newsletters!
