STRAIGHT FROM THE LMTC
What Could it Be?
You still have time to guess the Thing of the Month! Stop in today to take a look and see if you can figure it out (hint: nobody has yet, so if you guess it, you'll probably get the prize!). A hot cup of coffee at Kokopelli (or another nourishing prize) awaits the winner.
Peer Tutoring & Writing Center
Whether you're struggling a bit in a class this semester or you simply have a paper that could use another eye, stop in and utilize our Peer Tutoring & Writing Center. Visit its website for all your options to get help from your upperclassman peers.
Project Creation Resources
Are you creating a video, PowerPoint, or other project for your class? The LMTC student site has a Project Creation resources section just for you. It has links to licensed and copyright free images and video, a place to download music and sound effects for your projects, and much more.
LMTC Printing
When printing in the LMTC, please bring your Chromebook down here and then print. There is a large amount of paper left behind every day by students who hit Print and then forget to come grab their print jobs. Waiting to print until you're next to the printer guarantees your pile of papers won't be forgotten.
SEMESTER EXAMS/FINALS SCHEDULE
The following are general reminders: Open Campus-Students are not required to be in the building when not taking a test. Students who remain in the building should be in the commons, field house, or the LMTC. Test Preparation-Staff prepare for administering tests or offer review sessions for upcoming tests.

REMINDERS FROM THE HEALTH OFFICE
Here are some ways to keep each other safe and healthy!
Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness.
Practice good hand hygiene often
