Academic Resources Awareness Week

October 19 – 23

Academic Resources Awareness Week (ARAW) is an annual event every fall semester. The goal of ARAW, a signature CLASS event, is to make students aware of all the free on-campus academic resources available to them and normalize their use. From peer tutoring and help centers to academic coaching, ZSR research sessions, and more, Wake Forest offers a multitude of academic resources to help students along their learning journey. Students are encouraged to check out some or all of the great events planned every year.
