PAWSitively Stress Free

Monday, May 5, 2025 1:00–3:00 PM
  • Location
    Milner Library, 201 N. School Street, Normal, IL, 61761, United States
  • Description
    Join Health Promotion and Wellness and Milner Library and get PAWSitively Stress Free! Take a study or work break to pet certified therapy dogs and enjoy other stress-relieving activities! 



    Illinois State University students report stress as one of their top impediments to academic success. Research shows that for some, just a few minutes of petting a dog can lower the body’s level of cortisol—the stress hormone. 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 2



    Finals Week: Monday, May 5 and Tuesday, May 6 (offering free chair massages for finals week)
