Martha Norton, program coordinator for Student Counseling Services, said she expects the number of students attending the zones to increase from previous years due to the addition of the M-Shop. Tuesday was the first day, and it was very busy there. The play room brings in the most people. In contrast to the play room, the Sloss House offers a relaxing atmosphere with soft lighting, soothing music, herbal teas and progressive relaxation, Norton said. Norton said the Stress Free Zone a student, faculty or staff member chooses depends largely on the mood of the individual.
All students are welcome to take some time out from a very stressful time of year and play or relax.
