Seven certified therapy dogs and their handlers visited with students, with a goal of soothing pre-exam nerves and giving students an incentive to take a break for better retention of study material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The event was the second in a series of three Pause for Paws sessions hosted in part by Molly Mulligan, who works in Collections Management at the library and periodically helps to bring the K9 to 5 pups to campus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A third Paws for Paws event will take place at the Kraemer Family Library on Monday, Dec. 16 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><a href=\"https:\/\/communique.uccs.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/IMG_8123.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\"
