The division of student affairs will host the second iteration of Cy's Finals Frenzy at the beginning of prep week: Sunday-Tuesday, Dec. 8-10. This once-a-semester event is designed to promote healthy study habits and personal wellness as students prepare for final exams. All events are free for Iowa State students and take place in the Memorial Union.

Volunteers are needed to help the event run smoothly, and faculty and staff are encouraged to sign up for a shift (or two).

Fan-favorite events and offerings for students are back, including Bingo, movie night, free snacks and wellness activities such as yoga. Academic support programs will be available for students seeking additional help with specific exam preparation and projects.

The first Cy's Finals Frenzy in May saw an attendance of more than 900 students, with most noting they appreciated quiet study rooms in the MU, free food and organized activities that offered a break from studying.

"I had a lot of fun and got some studying done in the meantime!" shared one student in May. "The Sunday schedule gave me motivation to get out of my room and actually work on something (when I might not have the motivation to do it)."
