Stress-Less at the Library / Snack Break & Exam Week Stressbusters

Stress-Less at the Bentley Library
co-sponsored by the Bentley Library and Counseling & Student Development

Reading Day Snack Break
Tuesday, May 1 at 11:00am in front of the art gallery

Stress-busters in the art galley throughout exam period

We’re transforming the art gallery into a stress-free zone for exam period.  While the gallery is always a quiet, contemplative place, during exam week we’re also equipping the space with stress-busting activities to help you renew, regroup and refresh. You’ll find jigsaw puzzles, crosswords, and other quiet games to give your brain a break.

To kick-off things off we’re hosting a snack break at 11:00am on Reading Day (Tuesday, May 1) in front of the art gallery. All are invited to stop by and grab some fuel to get you going!

A big thank you to Counseling and Student Development (CSD) for their assistance and co-sponsorship of “Stress-Less”.
