The purpose of this club is to spread smiles and joy! Students are under lots of pressure, so we try to brighten peoples’ days through various ‘random acts of kindness’ and fun events year round. One of our most popular is Paw Palooza where we bring therapy dogs to campus to help students destress during midterms and finals. One of our favorite times of the year is March 20th: International Day of Happiness, where we do events every day of the week in honor of that day!
