As the Fall 2024 semester came to a close, the library transformed into a haven for students battling exam stress with a series of events designed to offer relaxation and fun. From Monday, December 9 - Thursday, December 19, the library’s Ground Floor rotunda and other areas hosted various de-stress activities.
One highlight was the unique opportunity to check out a "Plant Study Buddy" to keep students company during their studies. Additionally, the library offered a range of activities like coloring, jigsaw puzzles, and more to help students unwind.
Special events included a "Sound Bath Experience" led by Dr. Matt on Monday, December 9, aimed at providing relaxation through an immersive sound journey.
For those needing a low impact, yet active study break, we encouraged students to take a stroll around the library to enjoy our self-guided 'Art Walk in the Library'. With over 50 artworks by Arab artists currently on display from the Barjeel Art Foundation, it’s easy to enjoy beautiful art close-by.
These events, part of the library's "De-Stress for Exam Success" initiative, provided much-needed relief and a sense of community during the demanding exam period.
All the best to your AUS community during the semester break!
