It's the "finals" countdown - Finals Week Stress Relief Programming at the UCR Library.

Abstract

The Access Services Department at the University of California, Riverside has taken a creative approach to nurturing our users, UCR Highlander students, by creating a relaxing and stress-free environment during each quarter's Finals Week. In the Fall of 2013, we launched our Finals Week Stress Relief program, with the simple idea of a study break corner, which has, with time, grown to be a quarterly affair that is greatly anticipated by our UCR community. By the Winter 2014 quarter, word of our events had reached the ears of other campus departments who were hoping to cultivate a stronger relationship with the UCR Library such as the Academic Resource Center. We are cultivating relationships both on and off campus with our students, local businesses, other departments and organizations on campus. By providing these services and events, we are able to support our student population in their time of need.
