Events

 
  • The Academics Committee currently has several events planned for the Fall semester. Additional events will be added as they approach, or you can check out the Prime Minister’s Martel Calendar (link here).
  • Office Hours – Sundays, 8-10 PM, Martel Commons – each Sunday at this time, the Mentors hold Office Hours–a social / group / family study time for Martelians where upperclassmen are available to provide help with many intro classes. This is a really good time to finish work you may have procrastinated on during the weekend, study with friends, and drink free coffee.

  • Academic Planning Session – 11-7-12 (tentative) – a PAA planning session to look over course options for the Spring, review graduation and major requirements, get help deciding which classes to take, and refresh on Registrar rules.
