If the start of the semester already feels like a lot, this one’s for you.

We’re setting aside a quiet room with dim lighting, fidgets, and no pressure to talk. Build your own fidget toy, make a stress ball, or just sit somewhere calm for a while.

Thursday, August 27, 4:30 to 6:00 PM, SUB 1, Room 3B. RSVP on Mason360.
