• Last club activity of the semester, and is it a big and fun one! We will host Pause 4 Paws on Friday April 22nd from 12 – 3pm on the UC lawn. The Florence Area Humane Society is going to bring puppies on campus for students and faculty to cuddle with to distress before final exams. This is always a very popular event on campus. We could use as many club members there as possible to help chaperone the event (and cuddle PUPPIES).
