Studying doesn’t have to happen in a silo. It can be a social experience. You can engage with your friends and family to find out the answer to a tough question or have someone explain it to you. You can also study anywhere you happen to be and on any device.
–Eric Lefkofsky

As you move through the Summer I session, keep Lefkofsky’s advice in mind. Don’t isolate yourself, Let your learning spread throughout your friends and family.

I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study, to get into the habit of doing something that you don’t want to do.
–Wynton Marsalis

We all know that attending school is a privilege that is denied to many, that we should be thankful that we have the opportunity to learn and grow. Why, then, is it so difficult to develop the discipline to study?
