Hapless -- Word of the Week

Today's word of the week is Hapless. Hapless means to have no luck or unfortunate. As students of learning, one may feel hapless throughout their semester when course work becomes challenging or they don't score as well on a test or assignment as they had hoped. To avoid many hapless events in an educational journey, one should set academic goals and use campus resources such as the writing center or the LRC. Although some hapless times are bound to happen, it is important to pick back up and conquer your mission. As we are headed into a new semester, remember to remain focused and don’t become that hapless student.
