This lowers your blood pressure and helps you feel relaxed, which will allow you to focus more on studying and projects. Activities are held on the Third Floor of Milner Library from 1-3 p.m.Wednesdays: March 19 and April 2Finals Week: Monday, May 5 and Tuesday, May 6 (offering free chair massages for finals week)
