Procrastination Awareness Week 2025
March 3-7, 2025
Join students from across Canada for Procrastination Awareness Week (PAW)
“March can be a challenging month for university students,” explains Monique Dumontet, Director of the UM’s Academic Learning Centre. “It’s a busy period with numerous tests, assignments, and final essays piling up. It can feel stressful. Students may experience a dip in energy, which can impact their motivation and focus. That’s why we’re thrilled to be part of Procrastination Awareness Week (PAW), joining universities and colleges across Canada in addressing this issue.”
Procrastination Awareness Week (PAW) brings together some of the most popular and effective workshops from academic institutions across Canada. In addition to both live and pre-recorded workshops, PAW includes a virtual study hall, resource library, and opportunities to socialize with students from across all participating institutions.
“I strongly encourage UM students to participate in PAW,” says Dumontet. “In addition to a whole series of useful and timely workshops, presentations, and events, it’s also an opportunity for UM students to connect with other students from across Canada. It reminds students that they are not alone.”
PAW is an annual event, organized and hosted by the Learning Specialists Association of Canada (LSAC). Students can register for events via a Zoom account or email. All workshops and events are free.
PAW sessions include strategies related to managing procrastination, reducing stress, academic writing, bouncing back from academic setbacks, note-taking, and more. Paw also hosts a number of Study Hall events—students can join to focus on studying, writing, and other academic tasks.
