Therapy dogs visit during mid-term assessments
In order to help students lower their stress during mid-semester assessments, therapy dogs from Health Heelers came to campus. Studies have proven that simply petting a dog lowers your blood pressure, decreases anxiety, and creates an automatic relaxation response - all great benefits for our students during stressful times. In case you missed the dogs, you can see the story that aired on TMJ4. Stories also ran on Fox 6 and CBS 58.
