Dog Days Alleviate Student Stress
The Libraries provided a fun loving way to help students reduce their anxiety during finals by partnering with a local therapy dog organization, Paws 4 Healing, to bring a number of kind canines to campus this past year.
Students had the opportunity to take a break from their studies to pet and enjoy a variety of dogs of all shapes and sizes in the Libraries’ Gateway Plaza. Librarians were available nearby to promote the Libraries' Ask a Librarian services and answer questions about using the Libraries.
The Libraries’ Dog Days proved so popular with students that we are going to make this a regular event during Week 8 of each quarter.
