Students "Pause 4 Paws" During Finals Week
K9s at the Ville will host the "Pause 4 Paws" event to give students a much-needed break during finals week.
As finals week — one of the most stressful times of the year for Cedarville University students — begins, K9s at the Ville will provide students with a much-needed boost during its semi-annual “Pause 4 Paws” event.
On Tuesday, Dec. 8, from 1-3 p.m., K9s at the Ville, an on-campus organization that allows students to train service dogs, will bring puppies to campus for students to play with. The event will take place in the lower level of the Stevens Student Center and is open to all students.
Research shows that interaction with pets can reduce the level of cortisol, commonly known as the “stress hormone,” in humans. Studies also show that the interaction increases the level of endorphins, known as the “happiness hormone,” in the human body.
