Destination Fall Break


Mid-terms are over (hooray!) and students are cashing in their hard earned reward--a week off for Fall Break. Some students will spend it with their visiting families while others will travel around Europe. Paris to Prague, Alicante to Amsterdam, Umbra students will be dispersed all across the continent! Happy and safe travels to all! Buona vacanza!

Scientific Evidence For Snack Breaks

A new study has shown that the combination of lactose in milk and the gluten-chocolate complex in chocolate chip cookies produces a synergistic reaction which increases brainpower and raises concentration levels more than 23%. Nope, we're just kidding, actually, but we're putting out milk and cookies here in the library today anyway. This coming week the students have midterms so we thought we'd make it just a little bit easier for them.
