Hey Everyone!!!

Our fall tip of the week program has launched! For the next 8 weeks, your Lexis student reps (Me, Bianca, and Rebecca) will have a weekly 5 minute Lexis tip for you to check out.

Earn 100 points for your first tip (it doesn't matter which tip you check out, just as long as you try one), and earn 50 points for each tip after that. Simply see your student reps each week for a new tip.

As always, you can always make up tips that you missed and still get the points! If you don't get a chance to stop this week for the first tip, feel free to stop by sometime next week to get Tip #1 and Tip #2.

If you see us in the library come snag some candy & learn more about Lexis!
