SHL Christmas party!
Attention all! You may be aware that it is the festive time of year, and we feel it is only right to celebrate this in Student Hub Live in a very special workshop.
Expect festive food talk, maybe some quizzes, and the return of silent (k)night. Highly unlikely that all will be calm, but it certainly will be bright if we have anything to do with it.

Share your tips for effective note-taking and discover new techniques to help you process, evaluate and recall important study material.
