Wellness Center & Lamson Library Joining Forces
Each year Plymouth State University's Lamson Learning Commons and the Wellness Center join forces to offer stress relieving activities during final's week. This year the events will be taking place on May 12th, 13th and 14th on the Lamson Library's main floor.
Anne Jung-Mathews, the Outreach Librarian here at Plymouth, has worked with the Wellness Center and Spiritual Care & Reflection Center for the last several years. "The Lamson Learning Commons have enjoyed working with other groups on campus in the past," said Jung-Mathews, "and we thought this would be a good way to provide some stress relief [during] finals."
Activities planned include chair massages, reflexology and pet therapy, as well as snacks offered free of charge.
In order to receive a chair massage or reflexology, students will need to sign up in the library on the day of the event. A signup sheet will be provided one hour before beginning. Pet therapy sessions will include Canine Good Citizen certified dogs sponsored through the Wellness Center.
"They will have a yellow and green vest on that states 'PSU Pet Therapy,'" said Wendy Hills of the Wellness Center who is helping to coordinate the event. "You are welcome to share your love with them for as long as you'd like."
The Wellness Center offers relaxation activities weekly in the HUB which all students are welcome to participate in. Schedules are posted on the calendar outside the office of The Clock Newspaper, and appointments can be made by calling 535-2853 or by stopping by. Popular activities among students include reiki, reflexology, chair massages, tarot card readings, oracle card readings and astrology. "Our relaxation room is a great place to sit and relax on our many pillows so stop by anytime," said Hills.
Though schedules are still being determined, Hills asks students interested to, "watch for posters or follow us on Facebook (www.facebook.com/psuwellnesscenter) to find out exact times."
For any questions feel free to stop by the Wellness Center or email Wendy Hills at wlhills@plymouth.edu or Anne Jung-Mathews at amjung@plymouth.edu.
