Hey Longhorns, it's Jenny with your Campus Update for December 8 through December 15. Let's get you set for the week—fast. First up—Monday, December 8, marks the last day of classes for the fall semester. It's also the final day to request a non-academic Q-drop or to register in absentia. Next—final exams are scheduled from Thursday, December 11, through Monday, December 15. Make sure to check your exam times and locations to avoid any last-minute surprises. Lastly—the Visual Arts Center is hosting several exhibitions, including "Hundred Points: Contemporary Graphic Design from Austin, São Paulo, Cairo, and Helsinki," "Love in Excess," and "Zalika Azim: Blood Memories (or a going to ground)." These exhibitions are open throughout the week. On Monday, December 8, our Men's Basketball team takes on Southern University at the Moody Center. Tip-off is at 7 p.m. Let's pack the stands and show our Longhorn pride! Need a break from studying? Join the "Fuel for Finals" event on Monday, December 8, at the Dealey Center for New Media. It's a great way to recharge with fellow students. Also, don't miss "Chillfest" on Monday, December 8, from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Shirley Bird Perry Ballroom. It's the perfect opportunity to relax and de-stress before finals. For a festive treat, check out the "Longhorn Lights" display on the South Mall, running from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily. It's a beautiful way to get into the holiday spirit. Expect a sunny start to the week with temperatures warming up midweek. However, be prepared for cooler, rainy conditions over the weekend. Pack an umbrella if you're heading out on Saturday or Sunday. Your move: If you're planning to take Spring ESL classes, applications are open now. Don't wait—apply today to secure your spot.
