CSN Offers Dog-Tired Students a Break Before Final Exams
Love Dog Adventures’ therapy dogs make a return to campus libraries for relaxing visits
LAS VEGAS, March 22, 2016 – CSN’s librarians know that students can get exhausted as the semester winds down, so they’re relying on a tried and true method of stress relief: cute animals.
A group of therapy dogs from Love Dog Adventures will visit all three CSN campuses in April to help the students relax before the final stretch of the semester, including research papers and final exams.
“A short break where students can relax and take their minds off their responsibilities for just a moment can make a big difference,” said Beth Schuck, CSN’s Library Services director.
Love Dog Adventures, a non-profit, all-volunteer animal assisted therapy program, has visited CSN’s libraries in recent years, and the feedback from students has been overwhelmingly positive. Schuck said CSN’s libraries try to focus on creating a welcoming environment for students, and the therapy dogs program is part of that.
Students are able to hold and pet the dogs in lounge areas of the libraries. The media are invited to attend.
