What better way to kick off FWOC than with a little sweetness and a lot of puppy love? Stop by the Sanford Lawn to cool off with LocoPops and spend a few minutes with our friendly therapy dog teams.
Research shows that interacting with therapy dogs can help reduce stress, improve mood, and provide a calming mental reset, making it the perfect way to ease into the semester. Each therapy dog team consists of a certified therapy dog and its volunteer handler through Canines for Service. Students, faculty, and staff are invited to stop by, say hello, enjoy a treat, and start the semester with smiles, wagging tails, and a little extra joy.
