    In Milwaukee we are producing a week long series of programs under the “Panther Pause” banner, which we call a “campus-wide study break”.?

    • Monday 12/2:?
      • Therapy Dogs
      • Crash Course Night (chance to grab the spotlight and share your most random knowledge or niche expertise with fellow students in a fun and laid-back setting. Bring your passion – obsessed with ranking the best Marvel movies or explaining why pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza? Maybe you’ve mastered the art of assembling IKEA furniture and want to share your secrets.)
      • Float Your Troubles Away (Free Root beer Floats)
    • Tuesday 12/3:
      • Float Your Troubles Away – day 2
      • Let’s Taco ’bout Stress (enter the Night life of Mexico to let off some Stress! Let’s Taco about Stress with UWM Student Health and Wellness Center @uwm_wellness doing Journaling and Latinx Student Union @lsu_uwm doing painting, mug making, bracelet making, and giving out worry dolls to take the stress away! Can’t wait to see you all there!! Best part there will be Tacos)
    • Wednesday 12/4:
      • Off-Campus trip to Mitchell Park Domes, an indoor Horticultural Conservancy.
    • Friday 12/6:
      • Mini-Beach vacation in our main indoor common space. Fun Snacks, Drinks, and Beachy-themed activities.?

    Hi Joe!

    We do “Stress Less Fest” during the last week of the semester here at MCC Longview.? In the fall, we normally do a coffee truck on Monday, a board game day on Tuesday, a movie and cookie decorating on Wednesday, and a rotating event on Thursday.? This semester we did grocery bingo on Thursday and it was a big hit.??

    In the spring semester, Monday and Tuesday are the same, Wednesday is our annual campus carnival, and Thursday was a tie-dye event.??

    We also host free coffee and snacks in our Library for the first two days of finals week each semester.

    Let me know if you have any questions!
