The Weekly Scroll of Things to Know.

|
MLK Week, Jan. 21 through 24, invites us to reflect on the deep connection between African Americans, labor, and the pursuit of justice and equality. This year's theme, "Dream On," draws inspiration from the visionary leaders who fought tirelessly, often under harsh circumstances, to pave the way for a better tomorrow. These historical figures labored not only for their own future but also for the generations that would follow.

"I have a planner that goes with me everywhere on campus. In my planner, I plan the week out the week before by looking at class schedules to understand what I need to get done. When I do this a week in advance, I don't have to worry about it during the week, I can just focus on what is already going on."

"College can be an absolutely wonderful experience. Please make the most of it. Explore activities, courses and experiences outside of your comfort zone. Find your passion and purpose. Perfection doesn鈥檛 exist. Just do your best, knowing that what your best looks like may change daily."

Students give tips on how to create the best environment for sleep
|
Students sleep in all kinds of places: residence halls, shared apartments, random couches, the occasional classroom. Some of those spots work far better than others, in part because the length and quality of our sleep has a lot to do with our immediate environment. We asked you how you make your bedroom into a sleep-happy space.
