Finals Week At Swem

Each semester, when final exams begin, students flock to Swem Library to work on final projects, write research papers and study, study, study. It's important to remember to take a break – even a short one – to recharge during exams. The Libraries offer a number of study break activities during finals, and we hope you'll join us! 

All activities will be held in Swem's lobby, unless otherwise noted.

  • W&M Counseling Center
  • CRH Vending and Pepsi Co.
  • K-9 Connection of Williamsburg
  • Marisol Lambert (owner of Nellie, Tucker, Louie & Humphrey)

Swem Library will be open late during finals. From Sunday, May 7 through Thursday, May 11, Swem will be open until 2 AM. The library will close at 8 PM on Friday &
