With final exams approaching and the end of the semester looming, some Penn State students take this time to reflect on their study habits â and most realize sleep deprivation and caffeination is not the best way to approach studying.
Many students donât know who to talk to about study skills. Instead, they attempt an endless cycle of trial and error.

According to Dustin Elliott, assistant teaching professor of psychology, memorization is the most ineffective study method.
Elliott said he tried this approach during his first years in college.

The flag has been used for decades by some in the LGBTQ community to represent a unified sense of pride and camaraderie.
While itâs easy to overlook, the presence of the rainbow flag is also representative of a community that has historically been underrepresented in governmental bodies.

The University Park Undergraduate Association unanimously voted to implement a land acknowledgement on Wednesday, a policy long in the making.
The acknowledgement was crafted with the help of Penn State s Indigenous Peoples Student Association. It s meant to acknowledge that Penn State s campuses are located on the original homelands of the Erie, Haudenosaunee, Lenni Lenape, Shawnee, Susquehannock, and Wahzhazhe Nations. It is important to acknowledge the history of displacement that led to Penn Stateâs establishment. It is crucial for us, as the University Park student government, to reflect and address the complicated past of exploitation of Indigenous peoples by our University so that we remain educated representatives of Penn State, the acknowledgement read.
