GAC and Scott County Humane Society Team Up to Give Students a Study Break on Reading Day
Submitted on May 1, 2018
Thursday, May 3, is officially designated “Reading Day” for students at Georgetown College. The day is set aside as a time for concentrated study before the start of final examinations.
Recognizing the need for at least a short break from those studies, however, GAC, the Georgetown Activities Council, has partnered with the Scott County Humane Society for a two-hour “Stress Less with Pets” event. It is scheduled from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Bisese Lounge of the Bush Recreation Center.
The Scott County Humane Society brings to campus a few of their resident cats and dogs so that students wishing to do so may give them some love and affection. Area residents have even been invited to bring pets as well, provided they have proof the animal has had its rabies shots and other appropriate health care. Additionally, no dogs on retractable leashes are permitted due to safety concerns. For more information and to provide the pet’s name, please call 502-863-3279.
Ross Buskey, director of GAC, says it’s a great way for students to enjoy a study break. “Stress Less with Pets” is part of the Scott County Humane Society’s “For Pets’ Sake” project.
