Sign up for Pet Therapy

CORRECTION;
In the March 29 edition of The Eagle, we incorrectly reported that students were asked to volunteer their pets for Pet Therapy. That was incorrect, faculty and staff were asked to volunteer their pets. The story below reflects that correction.

To help students cope with the stress of finals week, the college is implementing Pet Therapy. Project Strive and RLA are requesting faculty and staff to volunteer their time and pets for Pet Therapy from 5-7 p.m. May 1, near the Clock Tower.
Jennifer Schaer, director of Project Strive TriO, said that for legal reasons, students may not volunteer their pets.
Schaer also said they would like to have three to four dogs from 5-7 p.m., and three to four dogs from 6-7 p.m.
Requirements for volunteering dogs are: 1. A handler stays with the dog at all times; 2. Handlers clean up any messes dogs might make; 3. Insurance and a completed volunteer form. Volunteer forms are due by noon on Friday, April 20, to Associate Director of Residence Life Taylor Osmotherly or Director of Project Strive/TriO Jennifer Schaer.
