A group of playful therapy dogs recently offered a stress-relieving break to Mount Saint Mary College students right in time for midterms.
This beloved campus event aims to provide a calming and joyful experience, helping students manage the academic pressures of the semester.
According to research, spending time with, petting, or observing animals can reduce heart rate and blood pressure and lower stress.
The dogs were provided by Hudson Valley Paws for a Cause. The event took place at the Mount's Kaplan Family Library and Learning Center, which co-sponsored the event with Counseling Services, Disability Services, Health Services, and the Student Government Association.
