Scared to talk to your professor? That’s okay, a lot of students feel that way at first. Keep reading to bust common myths and fears about talking to faculty, and learn how to make the best out of office hours!
What are office hours and why should I go?
Office hours are blocks of time that faculty set out to answer student questions about course materials, but it’s not limited to just class-related questions. Your professor is a great resource to go to for questions about future careers, research opportunities, and more!
Have a Sustainable ThanksgivingBuy local and organic foods
When you can, look for local fruits and vegetables. Locally sourced foods produce fewer carbon emissions to get to your plate. Additionally, organic foods require fewer harmful pesticides and will not pollute the soil and water where it is grown.
Use Reusable Dishware
Encourage the use of reusable dishware during gatherings or dinners. If this is not an option, look out for the next best eco-friendly options, like compostable utensils, and avoid single-use plastics that create more landfill waste.
