With final exams quickly approaching, George Washington University’s on-campus students took to Potomac Square on an unusually warm day to de-stress during this year’s Chalk-In.

Tuesday’s 40th annual event was hosted by the Colonial Health Center and Office of Student Life. The Chalk-In is an opportunity for students to flex their creative side, enjoy refreshments, music and prizes. Students were also able to join in on the fun and games virtually Tuesday evening.

Additional virtual and in-person Final Lap activities designed to bring students together and de-stress will be held throughout the end of the semester. GW also offers other resources to help prepare for final exams.
