Over the course of nearly two hours, students took turns petting and cuddling the friendly pooches, who were part of “Puppy Therapy,” a program organized by the Recreation and Wellness Center.

Scroll down for more photos of the adorable pups, plus a look at other on-campus de-stressing events hosted during Finals Week.
