Student Activities Council members are organizing another Stress Relief Week for the campus community.
Taking place from Monday through March 9, the week of events is designed to help students deal with stress during midterm exams.
The schedule is not complete yet, but some events have been planned already.
The week will begin with therapy dogs from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center. There will be a study night 8-10 p.m. the same day at Syrup, 1501 N.W. 23rd St. The local brunch restaurant will stay open later than usual for just OCU students.
Annie Oakley, an Oklahoma City-based Americana band, will perform at the study night from 8-9 p.m. Grace Babb and Sophia Babb, mass communications juniors, make up two thirds of the band.
There won’t be a Midnight Breakfast as part of Stress Relief Week, but a Krispy Kreme doughnuts and coffee event will take its place from 8-10 p.m. March 7. The doughnuts will be served in Tom and Brenda McDaniel University Center, and the Coffee Slingers truck will park outside Oklahoma United Methodist Hall.
Madelynn Buckman, dance junior and SAC union commissioner, is arranging the week on behalf of the council.
“We are also planning on doing massages on March 8 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.,” Buckman said.
Emma Grey, acting freshman, said she appreciates the upcoming week of plans.
“How many college kids get massages, let alone free ones during midterms when you need them most,” Grey said.
Brianna Williams, acting freshman, said seeing dogs on campus makes her day. She also said she loves that SAC brings dogs on campus for the students.
SAC members will create a Facebook event with updates on the week’s events. A complete schedule of the week’s events will be released soon, Buckman said.
