蹤獲扦 Libraries will once again offer its Stress-Free Zone to all students, faculty and staff on Monday, Dec. 11, and Tuesday, Dec. 12, from 3-5 p.m. in the Garden Room at the University Library. This event gives the 蹤獲扦 community a chance to wind down during finals week with snacks, games and the 簧.
���We know that studies show that full-on, nonstop studying is not good,��� said Cynthia Williams, director of marketing, communications and public relations for University Libraries. ���You need to take a break, and this is the best way to do it.���
University Libraries has been voted the best place to study five years in a row, Ms. Williams said. This Stress-Free Zone is an academically centered event giving students, faculty and staff a place to relax and reset.
���The guests of honor this year are the Dogs on Campus that come,��� Ms. Williams said. ���That is definitely the crowd pleaser.���
The dogs love it, the owners love it and the people love it, Ms. Williams said.
���Nothing can make your smile brighter than being able to rub a dog���s fuzzy belly,��� she added.
Students also will be able to participate in 3-D printer demonstrations in the Student Multimedia Studio. The activity is a good de-stressor and gives students something to take with them, Ms. Williams added.
Another crowd favorite featured at the event will be healthy snacks, such as popcorn and Capri Sun drinks.
���The students are always excited when they see the Capri Suns,��� Ms. Williams said. ���They get really into what flavors they want.���
The event has been a big hit in the past with students, faculty and staff, and University Libraries is excited to see the turnout again this year.
