As students head into a stressful part of the semester, the Residence Hall Association (RHA) will try to balance the workload with a week of fun. 

RHA is hosting Mental Health Week Feb. 8–12, with free activities that include therapy dogs, fitness, counseling, and a pillow fight. 

“With midterms beginning, February is the hardest time of the spring semester for students,” said Jeremiah Robertson, an aerospace engineering major and director of programming for RHA. “These events will provide a way for students to work through their stress.”

The week of events will include:

  • Monday: Therapy Dogs (11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Tech Walk).
  • Tuesday: Yoga and Smoothies (11 a.m. to noon, Room 320, Student Center).
  • Wednesday: Relationship Counseling (1 to 2 p.m., Room 117, Flag Building).
  • Thursday: Chair Massages (11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Room 332, Student Center).
  • Friday: Pillow Fight and Obstacle Course (11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Piedmont Room, Student Center).

RHA is working with the Student Government Association, Mental Health Student Coalition, Student Center Programs Council, and Counseling Center to host the week of events.
