Fighting Stress with Dogs and Lego

  Posted on: December 2, 2013

Starting Monday December 2, the TRU Library is once again setting up a “Stress-Free Zone” for final exams. The “Zone” will run December 2-13 on the first floor of the House of Learning. It’s a place for students to take a break from studying, refresh their minds, and have a bit of fun — while leaving the rest of the building for quiet study.

Students will be able to sit and play a variety of board games, colour, do puzzles, build a Lego creation, and grab a healthy snack.

On December 5 and 12, students will also find the Wellness Centre’s Therapy Thursdays: For the Love of Dogs program in the space – and we’ve got to admit, we’re kind of excited that the therapy dogs are coming to the library!

The project is a joint venture between the Library, Computer Lab Support, Counselling Services, and the Wellness Centre, all of whom wish students the best of luck during finals, and a safe and relaxing holiday break.
