For the fall 2026 semester (starting 9/11/26) students are invited to drop-in to visit with Willow, the credentialed therapy dog in CAPS on Fridays, between 3-4 pm in the Health & Wellness Center.  Participation will be on a first-come, first served-basis. To allow for meaningful interactions with Willow, students may be asked to visit in shifts if needed.
