Feel Good Finals events offer Clarkies study breaks, snacks, and exercise<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From studying for chemistry exams to writing political science papers, finals are a stressful time for many Clarkies. To give students a respite from work, campus offices have organized a host of \u201cFeel Good Finals\u201d events, from meditation and strength training to building with Legos and everybody\u2019s favorite study break, Late-Night Breakfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sponsoring offices and departments include Student Leadership and Programming<\/a> (SLP), Wellness Education<\/a>, the Student Activities Board<\/a> (SAB), the Center for Counseling and Personal Growth<\/a> (CPG), the Office of Identity, Student Engagement, and Access<\/a> (ISEA), the Clark Undergraduate Student Council<\/a> (CUSC), the CARE Network<\/a>, the Career Connections Center<\/a> (CCC), and the Office of Student Employment<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, April 28, students can participate in SLP\u2019s Feel Good Finals Games and Giveaways<\/a> on Red Square from noon to 2 p.m.; hang out at SAB\u2019s Relaxation Day<\/a> in the Academic Commons from 1 to 3 p.m.; take an introduction to strength training class at 6 p.m. in the Bickman Multipurpose Room; or follow the traveling cereal bar, which will be in the Maywood Hall first-floor kitchen and the Johnson Sanford Center 2W kitchen at 8 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tuesday, April 29, begins with a burst of energy from the Coffee Cabin at Atwood Plaza at 9 a.m. Students can pick up a grab-and-go de-stress pack at the First Year Success Advisor conference room in the Academic Commons at 9 a.m.; make their own trail mix at Find Your Fuel<\/a> from 1 to 2 p.m. at the Center for Counseling and Personal Growth; and paint with ISEA during Brush Off the Stress<\/a> from 6 to 7:30 p.m. at the Dana Fireside Lounge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
