����Ƶ will welcome back Kol, a certified therapy dog, on Monday, Dec. 7 from 2 to 4 p.m. Kol will provide comfort to students studying for final exams in the Wimberly Library, 777 Glades Road, Boca Raton campus.

The award-winning canine and his owner, Jane Eisenberg, are volunteers with Therapy Dogs International and have spent the last three years comforting Hospice patients. The 71-pound golden retriever enjoys the attention from students and doesn’t mind cuddling with them or posing for a “selfie.”

“Studies have shown that therapy pets can help to reduce stress and anxiety and a growing number of universities are having success with golden retrievers during final exams,” said Rita Pellen, associate dean of Libraries. “Kol’s visit to ����Ƶ puts a different face on the academic library and shows our students that we care about what they are experiencing.”

Kol’s visit is hosted by ����Ƶ Libraries and the ����Ƶ Mentoring Project.
