Every Tuesday in September from 5-6 p.m., students gather near the Degenstein Campus Center for one of their favorite events — Dog Days!

Students who are missing their pets back home get the chance to spend time with dogs belonging to faculty and staff.

Dog Days is sponsored by the University Counseling Center. It began about 17 years ago as a way for students to ease some of the stress of the start of the school year while getting to know the faculty and staff and, of course, their dogs.
