Study Hall: Monday Nights in December
Need somewhere quiet to study and work on your assignments? Do you want to ask someone about study tips and strategies? Do you just want a quiet place to work, but don't want to study alone?
What is Study Hall?
- Study Hall gives you the opportunity to study somewhere quiet, but still have Renison staff nearby if you have any questions or need some help.
- Study Hall sessions are drop-in, which means you can stay for 30 minutes or the full two hours - you decide!
- Peer Leaders will be there to monitor, answer questions, and help with study strategies.
When and where?
First three Mondays in December (December 4, 11, 18)
8:00pm - 10:00pm
Dunker Family Lounge (Room 1303)
Thank You Day!
Join your Peer Leaders and friends to write a little “Thank You” card for someone you are grateful for at Renison!
What is it?
Make a little "Thank You" card with your Peer Leaders to give to someone who made a positive impact during your time at Renison! It can be for a friend, a staff member or anyone at Renison you are thankful for. Snacks are provided!
All are welcome!

Meet and Greet Series

In each episode, senior students share tips for success in different areas of university student life.
