Extra Information: 

University is a very stressful time in a person's life, with it causing or exacerbating mental health conditions among many students.

Research has proven that regular interactions with dogs can help reduce stress and anxiety in people, as well as improving their mood in general. So my proposal is to have regular therapy dog events around campus to give students access to a bit of stress relief in the form of a cuddly pup. My old college had a library dog that would be there all day once a week so this could be an option also!
