Need somewhere to study away from your loud roommates? Come to “Cram Night.”

On Wednesday, March 9 from 9 p.m. until midnight, the Driscoll Center will be open late especially for students who want to study for finals, in a program sponsored by Partners in Learning and Arts & Sciences Passport.

The commons will be open for a special study breakfast and to accommodate students with a quiet place to get away to and study.

Food will be served all evening, and Jazzman’s cafe will be open serving free regular coffee.

There will be both quiet areas and soft live jazz music around Jazzman’s Cafe to create a relaxing yet studious environment.

The breakfast will be served by Student Life staff, and possibly a few members of faculty who are available that evening.

Some faculty who are free that evening may hold study groups in the open space of Driscoll, or may reserve conference rooms on the second floor.

At the moment, the goal is to recruit at least 10 faculty members who are interested in supporting students in their efforts to study for finals.

Faculty can either assist with serving the breakfast, answer students study questions, or both. During “Cram Night,” a silent raffle will also be held with prizes for winning students.

According to Jeff Ederer, director of Partners in Learning, the event began as a suggestion from students who said that there are never any open places to study the night before finals.

If this year’s “Cram Night” is successful, there will be an effort made to make this a quarterly event for students in need of good study spots for finals.
