Fi­nals Ac­tiv­i­ties Re­sume Due to Blue Level

MISHAWAKA—Ac­tiv­i­ties for fi­nals week will be start­ing a lit­tle ear­lier than fi­nals week. On Thurs­day, April 22, stu­dents will have the chance to smash com­puter parts with a sledge­ham­mer. Stu­dents are re­quired to sign a li­a­bil­ity waiver and to wear gog­gles.  

On Fri­day, April 23, mas­sages are back. Af­ter hav­ing to be can­celed in the fall of 2019 due to COVID-19 reg­u­la­tions, the blue level is al­low­ing them to take place again. There are only 32 slots, but there is a wait list for the can­celed ap­point­ments.  

Kit­ten ther­apy re­turns on Mon­day, April 26, from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  

Rachel Kennedy, who serves as the di­rec­tor of the Cen­ter of Aca­d­e­mic ser­vices, has been plan­ning the events for fi­nals weeks since the fall of 2016 and is look­ing for­ward to stu­dents en­joy­ing ac­tiv­i­ties that they were un­able to ex­pe­ri­ence fully in the fall of 2019.  

“I’m su­per-ex­cited for a re­turn of these events which many fresh­men, and per­haps even sopho­mores, haven’t re­ally ex­pe­ri­enced,” Kennedy said. 

The events Kennedy is look­ing for­ward to the most are the an­i­mal events. She hopes that stu­dents can be blessed by hav­ing an­i­mals dur­ing the time when they of­ten miss their an­i­mals at home the most.
