秀色短视频 faculty and staff help to eliminate end-of-the-semester stress

| Students

December is one of the busiest months in the academic year and for students it鈥檚 filled with final assignments, exams, and presentations. Eating properly, sleeping, and taking care of one鈥檚 physical and mental health become secondary as a student鈥檚 time is consumed with studying and the need to meet deadlines. December 2016 saw a host of activities, that were employee-led-and-initiated, geared towards supporting 秀色短视频 students and relieving end-of-the-semester stress: 

  • Meet and Greet with treats and Santa Claus, Student Affairs
  • Festive Coffee, Hot Cocoa, and Cookie Break, Office of the President
  • Chili luncheons, Chaplaincy Centre
  • Stress-Free Zone with board games and  treat breaks, Robertson Library and Chartwells
  • Bo the Golden Retriever therapy dog and board games, International Relations Office
  • a variety of healthy grab-and-go snacks provided by various departments across campus

鈥淚t is clearly a gesture that demonstrates how staff care for these students on a personal level,鈥 said Dr. Christine Hoffman, a parent who was comforted by the kind actions of 秀色短视频 employees at the Chili Luncheon, hosted by the Chaplaincy Centre and led by Rocky Paquet and Sister Sue Kidd. 鈥淎s a parent I was actually emotional to know that a group of staff members felt it was important to prepare a meal to nourish and comfort students just like would happen if they were at home.鈥

Hoffman wished to thank everyone who kindly spent hours preparing, planning, and serving students at the many activities and events hosted by 秀色短视频 staff during the exam period. 鈥淎ll of your efforts and thoughtfulness are truly appreciated.鈥 

秀色短视频 is proud of the kind and caring faculty and staff that take time 鈥渙ut from behind their desk鈥 to serve students during this typically stressful time of year.
