College administrators across the country are realizing that Therapy Dogs can play an important role on their campuses during exam periods. It’s a stressful time for students: papers due, long study hours turn into sleepless nights for college students striving to do their best to get good grades. Anxiety builds. Therapy Dogs provide a perfect way for students to relax, take a break, and chill while petting the well-trained, dogs that are gentle, friendly, and outgoing.
Tuesday, October 7th, twenty-two Bright Spot Therapy Dogs will head to the University of Massachusetts where students can gather in the student union ballroom from 11:30-2:00 for some canine loving. Those students studying in the library, will find several Therapy Dog teams there, as well, throughout the event, should they not want to venture too far from their books.
Stay tuned for a post-event rundown with lots of great photos of our Bright Spot Therapy Dogs doing what they do best.
