The Student Union is transforming into the Study Union from Sunday, Dec. 7 through Wednesday, Dec. 10. The Union will be open between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m. with extra study rooms, specials at the restaurants located in the Union and events geared toward making study breaks fun.
In addition to special pricing, the eateries will also have extended hours.
Starbucks will be open until 11 p.m. and will be selling a tall regular coffee for just $1 from 8 p.m. until close.
After Starbuck closes, the Union will have free coffee, beverages and snacks including bagels from Einstein’s, other breakfast foods, and pizza, from 11 p.m. to 2 a.m. The student staff will be serving around the Union so students can focus on studying. Subway will also remain open until 1 a.m.
In addition to these special offers and extended hours, the Game Room will be open until 12 a.m. for those who need a break from studying. If the library is full, extra study rooms will also be available until 2 a.m.
The Study Union also features additional special offers and activities each day. On Sunday, free sweet rolls and fruit will be provided by the Union Market.
Cram Jam from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8 in the Grand Ballroom is an event where each hour consists of 45 minutes of studying and then 15 minutes of free food, games and prizes.

Finals begin Monday, Dec. 8 and Study Union hopes to create a quiet and safe study environment.
