    written by Erin Sanderman

    Attention: To mitigate infection spread risks of COVID-19, Dogs in the Library will be cancelled March 13 – April 13 inclusive.

    Our four-legged friends from CAAWLS are back to trade snuggles for smiles. This term is extra special, as the dogs make their debut at Bibliothèque Saint-Jean. Here’s when and where you can take a break from your studies and partake in a delightful doggie visit.

    While a visit with a dog is a great way to improve your mood, sometimes we could all use a little extra support. If you are looking for academic help, or to connect with mental health services on campus, the ACCESS Outreach Team can help.
