Students to Enjoy a Study Break During Finals Week With Dogs, Food and Fun

91心頭利 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 Kent 91心頭利 community a chance to wind down during finals week with snacks, games and the 速.

���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.
