Housatonic Community College Faculty & Staff Offered A Number Of Inititatives To Help Students De-Stress During Exams

Housatonic Community College offered students techniques for keeping calm and refreshed while preparing for finals. From May 11 - May 14, the college had a variety of stress relief and calming activities and techniques to help students get through finals. These included a hydration station for complimentary coffee, tea, water and healthy snacks; a stress relief area that featured inflated punching bags and huge pillows; a meditation room; a quiet study area; and a variety of other special programs and activities. There was also Lucy, the therappy dog! A “tip sheet” on surviving finals was also available.
