Finals are now here, and while we all may think we know the best way to stay on top of exams, sometimes the stress of studying can make us fall short.

The Hegi Family Career Development Center has come up with one way to help frazzled SMU students.

Starting on Monday, Dec. 7 through Dec. 9 the Hegi Career Center will offer free energy bars to all students. Also, any student who stops by can register for the chance to win an iPod nano.

“At this time of year, we always see students who are feeling the stress and pressure of upcoming finals and the wind-down of the semester. We want to help provide an extra boost to students and let them know the Hegi Family Career Development Center is here for them,” says Assistant Director Caryn Statman.

Along with a free snack, students can pick up study statistics and information about the center’s services.

“Winter Break is also a great time to work on a job or internship search, so this event lets students know where we are and how we can help them once they are done with their finals,” Statman said. “Hopefully this small gesture lets them know they have a lot of support on campus during this stressful time.”

The Hegi Family Career Development Center will be hosting the event daily from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. through Wednesday. For more information, students are encouraged to visit the center’s website.
