Obligation Overload Logo (higher res)

Join us for 'Obligation Overload', a new time/commitment management series exploring issues directly aimed at Rice students and the Rice academic experience.   These hour interactive sessions put on by the Wellness Center explore procrastination, prioritizing, learning to say "no", and achieving balance.   While sessions are open to both graduate and undergraduate students, freshmen and transfer students are highly encouraged to attend to help ease the transition to Rice.
