Semiannual Finals Prep Event Slated for April 30

Written By: Ian Silvester

“Mayday! Mayday! It’s finals and so much studying to do. Come out to Long Night Against Procrastination and find the life preserver you need to finish strong,” said Roxy Wylie, technical services assistant at the Boreham Library and LNAP committee chair.

The University of Arkansas – Fort Smith is preparing students for spring finals with the return of the semiannual Long Night Against Procrastination. The event will be from 4-8 p.m. on April 30, throughout the Boreham Library, and keeping up with previous LNAPs will feature a new theme: Shipwrecked.

Wylie noted that, since inception, the event has grown from a little more than 100 students participating to nearly 300 to close out the fall semester. The LNAP committee said it’s through the collaboration of the Academic Success Center, Writing Center, Babb Center for Career Services, Boreham Library, TRIO STEM, and TRIO Student Success Services for repeated success at preparing UAFS students for finals while relieving stress.

“It’s going to be a night of productivity, fun, stress-relief, free food, amazing prizes, and furry friends,” said Dr. Mary Lutze, writing center director and LNAP committee member.

The spring LNAP will feature familiar favorites, including Puppies and Professors, a kitten cuddling room provided by the Artemis Project, a Zen room, tutoring, a workshop series, chair yoga, class-specific review sessions, prizes, and, of course, snacks. However, the upcoming event will include two new events based on the theme: Bingo and a mysterious island of procrastination escape room.
