The end of the fall semester is upon us, and that means finals and end-of-semester projects โ€“ and with those things comes a lot of studying, writing and staring at computers.

But students donโ€™t have to go down the rabbit hole of stress to ace their exams.ย Cougar Countdown kicks off Sunday, Dec. 6, 2020, with a variety of academic and social events aimed at helping students stay focused and centered during finals from Dec. 8-Dec. 14.

Organized by theย Center for Student Learning, Cougar Countdown is a program for students to support their mind, body and spirit during the final days of each semester and during final exams. From virtual workouts to tutoring to online meditation, thereโ€™s something to help everyone feel calm and supported as they conclude the semester. And don’t miss the inaugural Finals Fun Park at Silcox Gym featuring a golf simulator, batting cage, putt-putt and disco ping-pong. Students must register to participate in Finals Fun Park activities through IMLeagues.com/cofc.
