The Youtube video series "Chillhop" is a great study companion. If you study better with background music, but can get distracted by lyrics then "Chillhop" will be your new best friend. It features multiple hours of relaxed music with hip hop beats and no words. Perfect for studying for final exams, working on projects, or destressing from the holidays.

First Time Participants | December 5, 2020 | 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.
Returning Participants | December 6, 2020 | 1 p.m. - 4 p.m.
