Final exams begin Monday, Dec. 7, but NIU students can find unique ways on campus to beat the stress.
Want to pet a friendly dog? Super-friendly Newfoundlands Gladus and Shurlee will visit Founders Memorial Library from 3:30 to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 8, and from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 9.
Remember how many hours you spent coloring as a kid? Coloring has been shown to relieve stress and calm anxiety for people of all ages.
Students are welcome to break from studying to color in Room 102A (on the first floor of Founders) during library hours from 7:30 a.m. to midnight Monday, Dec. 7, to Friday, Dec. 11. Coloring supplies will be provided.
For more information on the dogs or the coloring, call (815) 753-5290 or email kladell@niu.edu.
