Health Options for a Wellness Lifestyle (HOWL) is responsible for putting together the Stress Free Finals events during the final examination season. From Dec.7-Dec.16, students can take part in the Snack Attack events located in the Michigan Tech Van Pelt & Opie Library. Sundays are excluded. Students can also take part in the Puppy Play Time on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 1:00 P.M.-3:00 P.M. at the Hamar House located just east of Fisher Hall and across the street from Wadsworth Hall. With the help of various departments within Student Affairs, HOWL has been able to financially support the Stress Free Finals week events, but is looking for other departments to help financially support their effort to bring heath and wellness alternatives to Michigan Tech campus.
HOWL is also responsible for the development and management of the relaxation room located inside of the Hamar House. Last year marked the opening of the relaxation room by HOWL with a generous grant from the Michigan Tech Parent’s Fund in 2008. Lavished with a LoveSac, 32” screen HDTV, relaxation music, wall art, and a desk water fall, the relaxation room would be a great plate to getaway during the demand of the season. The room will have snacks starting from Monday, Dec. 7-Wednesday, Dec. 16.
The Counseling and Wellness Center offers a host of different services and will be open during finals week. E-mail wellness@mtu.edu for more information.
