After finishing up their finals on Wednesday, Jan. 22 and Thursday, Jan. 23, students and staff were able to stop by and soothe their stress with therapy dogs and baby goats. The animals were brought in from “Duke’s Healing Hounds” and “Portland Goat Parties.” 

The Falconer documented the action as community members interacted with these animals after final exams.
