Every semester, we bring therapy dogs on campus to help freshmen/first year students to deal with home sickness, to promote stress management, and provide a comfortable setting in which students can have a chance to meet and bonds with their peers. The dogs are brought in by their owners again at the end of every semester right before finals at our Stress Relief Fairs.
“Being a Healthy HAWK has benefited me in more ways than one. It has allowed me to be more comfortable speaking to groups and big crowds, has given me the confidence to speak up and to ensure the health and well being of all my peers are being met, and has given me the opportunity to meet some of the most caring and genuine group of people. Being a Healthy HAWK has educated me on various topics that should be available to everyone, and I get the chance to spread that information to the community.”- Larissa (Head Hawk)
“Being a Healthy HAWK has opened many doors for me and allowed me to learn about many things, especially myself. I couldn’t be happier being a part of the HAWKS!”-Luis (Head Hawk)
