Flatten the curve and stay connected with #umStudyatHome

Participate in this special Instagram contest

March 25, 2020 — 

To encourage the practice of social distancing, and to help flatten the curve of COVID-19, we’re all finishing our courses at home. How is everyone dealing with these changes to your routine and studying remotely? It’s easy to get sidetracked and you might feel a lack of motivation from not having an organized schedule. So, for this month’s Instagram challenge, we are running a study-at-home themed photo contest! What is your definition of a perfect study environment? How do you stay productive and on top of your to-do list when studying online? Help out your peers by sharing your study-at-home tips by using the hashtag #umStudyatHome for a chance to win a $25 UM Bookstore gift card!  And remember, if you need help managing stress or getting through your courses successfully, UM has your back.
